Klungkung Moves Advertising Permits Onto a Digital Siting Map

Implementation update, 8 October 2026: Klungkung JDIH published Regent Decision 285/23/HK/2026, which was established and took effect on 26 August. The decision formally fixes the advertising types, sizes, and exact coordinates contemplated by Regent Regulation 22/2026, incorporates the schedule into Klungkung's digital advertising map, and makes it the administrative reference for constructed advertising throughout the regency. Its attachment provides coordinate tables and supporting maps, including a dedicated schedule for the Nusa Penida ring-road corridor. Businesses should now validate an exact proposed point against the decision and live map rather than rely on a street name, land parcel, or preliminary site plan alone.

Late discovery: Klungkung Regent Regulation 22/2026 was established, promulgated, and made effective on 9 July 2026. Klungkung JDIH published the signed seven-page instrument online on 21 September and lists it as in force. It amends Regent Regulation 23/2020 on advertising administration.

The most consequential control is geographic. Constructed advertising may be installed only outside the road shoulder or pavement, outside sidewalks without covering drainage, on a land parcel or yard, or attached to a building other than a cultural-heritage building. The permitted type, size, and coordinates are now fixed by Regent Decision 285/23/HK/2026 and recorded in the digital advertising map. A business should therefore clear the exact coordinates, not merely the street or land parcel, before committing a structure or campaign.

The amendment maintains extensive no-installation areas, including archaeological and historical sites, museums and monuments, government offices, education and worship facilities, cemeteries, statues, urban parks, bridges, specified central Semarapura road segments, trees, utility and telecommunications poles, and other public facilities. It also prohibits cross-road displays other than religious-ceremony banners and any display that impairs road safety, driver visibility or concentration, road or traffic-control functions, public order, health, or applicable social and religious norms.

Every individual or body installing advertising needs a permit from the competent department head. For constructed advertising, the permit is issued only after an IMB or PBG exists. The application must include corporate or personal tax and identity documents, any authority letter, the original prior permit for a renewal, site-use consent where the land or building is not privately owned, the building approval, an agreement where the applicant does not own the advertising structure, the advertising artwork, a location plan, coordinates, and site photographs from two viewpoints. Constructed displays also require technical plans and structural calculations.

The rule separates permit administration from advertising-tax payment: the tax remains payable under the applicable regional-tax legislation. Operators should keep permit, PBG or IMB, site consent, structure, artwork, coordinate, and tax records aligned, especially where a landlord, tenant, advertising agency, and structure owner are different parties.

Enforcement is now set out expressly. Breaching the location prohibitions or installing without a permit can lead to an oral warning, written warning, and/or closure or removal of the advertising material. If an oral warning is not followed, the authority may issue a written warning; continued non-compliance can progress to closure or removal. Satpol PP and the regency fire-service unit implement written warnings and closure or removal for unlicensed advertising on the competent department head's recommendation.
