Practical impact
The Regent delegates to the Head of Karangasem DPMPTSP the receipt, approval or rejection, issuance, delivery, cancellation and revocation administration for business licences, non-business permits and non-licensing services. The delegated route covers basic requirements, including KKPR, environmental approval, PBG and SLF, as well as KBLI-based business licences, PB UMKU, the non-business permits listed in the annex and risk-based supervision. Basic requirements, business licences and PB UMKU use OSS. Non-business permits use SICANTIK Cloud and MPP Digital, while non-licensing services use SICANTIK Cloud online or offline. DPMPTSP remains administratively responsible, but sector agencies retain technical responsibility and may provide technical consideration or approval. The listed DPMPTSP services are free of charge.
Karangasem established and promulgated Perbup 12/2026 on 18 May in the Karangasem Regency Gazette 2026 No. 12. The official JDIH record identifies it as in force. The signed copy was uploaded to the official publication file on 15 October, allowing Regulation Watch to verify the detailed delegation and transition provisions directly from the instrument.
The regulation consolidates local licensing administration under the Head of DPMPTSP. The delegation includes accepting or rejecting applications, issuing and delivering approvals, and administering cancellation or revocation for business licences, non-business permits and non-licensing services. Technical responsibility remains with the relevant sector agency, which may be asked for technical consideration or approval.
The scope reaches the core approvals used by investors and property operators. It covers basic requirements such as KKPR, environmental approval, PBG and SLF, plus KBLI-based business licences, PB UMKU, annex-listed non-business permits and risk-based supervision. OSS is the channel for basic requirements, business licences and PB UMKU. SICANTIK Cloud and MPP Digital are specified for non-business permits, and SICANTIK Cloud may be used online or offline for non-licensing services.
The non-licensing services include complaints, licensing consultation and information, assistance, legalization, cancellation, revocation, status letters for non-business permits, research letters and tower-zoning conformity letters. Article 16 states that the delegated DPMPTSP services are free and that DPMPTSP is not given local-revenue targets for them.
Supervision may be routine or incidental. Incidental supervision can follow a complaint, a request from the business or an indication that the operator does not meet a basic requirement, business licence or PB UMKU obligation. Businesses should therefore keep the corporate, OSS, land, spatial, environmental, building and operational evidence for each Karangasem site consistent and inspection-ready.
The transition is not a blanket refiling requirement. Applications submitted before 18 May continue under Perbup 33/2019 as amended, and approvals already issued remain valid until expiry. For new or post-effective-date matters, businesses should use the DPMPTSP route and should no longer rely on Perbup 33/2019, Perbup 61/2020 or Perbup 7/2022, all of which Perbup 12/2026 repeals.
Required action
- Map every Karangasem project, premises and activity to its required KKPR, environmental approval, PBG, SLF, KBLI-based business licence, PB UMKU, non-business permit and non-licensing service.
- Use OSS for basic requirements, business licences and PB UMKU. Use SICANTIK Cloud and MPP Digital for non-business permits, and follow the DPMPTSP route for consultation, assistance, complaints, legalization, cancellation, revocation and other listed services.
- Reconcile applications filed before 18 May 2026 against the transitional rule. Pending earlier applications continue under Perbup 33/2019 as amended, while permits already issued remain valid until their stated expiry.
- Confirm whether the application requires technical consideration or approval from a sector agency, and keep that technical evidence aligned with the DPMPTSP administrative file.
- Keep OSS, SICANTIK Cloud and MPP Digital records consistent with deeds, AHU and NIB data, KBLI, location, land rights, spatial conformity, environmental approvals, building approvals and actual operations.
- Do not pay unofficial service charges for the delegated DPMPTSP services because Article 16 states that they are free and DPMPTSP is not assigned local-revenue targets for them.
- Prepare for routine or incidental risk-based supervision, including inspections arising from complaints, a business request or indications of non-compliance with basic requirements, business licences or PB UMKU.
