There are two main building permits required to have in a property in Bali that we can assist to issue that:

Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung (PBG), or Building ApprovalThis permit is required for all new building construction or renovation work. It is issued by the local government and ensures that the building is constructed according to the approved plans and meets all building codes and regulations.Sertifikat Laik Fungsi (SLF), or Certificate of OccupationThis permit is required for all buildings that are to be used for commercial or residential purposes. It is issued by the local government and ensures that the building is safe for occupancy and meets all applicable building codes and regulations.

In addition to these two main permits, there may be other permits required depending on the specific type of property or the scope of work being done. For example, if you are building a commercial property, you may need to obtain a permit from the tourism department. Or, if you are renovating a historical property, you may need to obtain a permit from the cultural heritage department.
It is important to note that building permits can take several months to obtain, so it is important to start the process early. It is also important to work with a qualified architect or engineer to ensure that your plans are compliant with all applicable building codes and regulations.
