Common Compliance Issues

Mixed Zone Neighborhoods

Sanur's older development pattern created pockets of different zones. Adjacent properties may have different permit eligibility—verification required for each.

Aging Infrastructure Permits

Established properties often have pre-2021 IMB permits. These need verification against current PBG/SLF requirements for commercial operation.

Yellow Zone Flexibility

For foreign owners/PT PMA: yellow zones PROHIBIT short-term rentals. Indonesian citizens may qualify for Pondok Wisata. Long-term rental (12+ months) is an option for all. Properties near the hospital may find strong demand from medical tourists. Note: nominee arrangements are illegal.
