Difference Between SHM and HGB

Ownership Rights Certificates (SHM) and Building Use Rights (HGB) are two types of certificates that regulate land ownership in Indonesia. Although both provide the right to use land, there are fundamental differences between the two. The following is an explanation of the differences between SHM and HGB:

Time Period

SHM: has no time limit. SHM holders have permanent rights to the land and can pass it on to their heirs.

HGB: Has a specified time limit, namely a maximum of 30 years, with the possibility of an extension of another 20 years. After the validity period and extension expire, the HGB holder must renew his rights or return the land to the land owner.

Ownership

SHM: Can only be owned by Indonesian citizens (WNI). This means that land certified as SHM cannot be owned by foreign citizens.

HGB: Can be owned by Indonesian citizens, foreign citizens, or legal entities. Due to the temporary nature of HGB, it is more commonly used by foreign companies and entities to construct buildings in Indonesia.

Transfer of Rights

SHM: Can be transferred (sold, inherited, or gifted) freely and without restrictions to other parties as long as that party meets the requirements as the owner of SHM (for example, must be an Indonesian citizen).

HGB: Can be transferred to other parties, including foreign citizens, as long as the HGB is still valid. However, the new holder must extend or renew the building use rights according to the provisions.

Land Use

SHM: Land with SHM can be used for any purpose as long as it does not conflict with statutory regulations, such as for residence, plantation or business.

HGB: Usually used for commercial or industrial purposes, such as the construction of office buildings, apartments, or other commercial facilities.

Obligations and Payments

SHM: SHM owners have the obligation to pay Land and Building Tax (PBB) every year, and administration fees if changes or extensions are made.

HGB: HGB holders also have to pay PBB, and there are additional fees for extending or renewing the HGB after the validity period expires.

Legal Value and Status

SHM: Because it is permanent and indicates full ownership, SHM usually has a higher value on the market. SHM is considered legally stronger than HGB.

HGB: The value of property with HGB tends to be lower than with SHM because it is temporary and needs to be extended. HGB is considered a use right, not a full ownership right.

 

If you have a certificate of ownership, then there is no need to doubt the proof of ownership. Of course you will avoid problems such as disputes that might occur in the future. Therefore, it is important to have SHM as an important document regarding land and property ownership.
