Malang (malangkota.go.id) – In order to realize a Complete City, the Malang City Government (Pemkot) is actively carrying out the process of accelerating the certification of land assets. One of which is managed for houses of worship.

The commitment to realizing a Complete City was expressed by the Mayor of Malang, Drs. H. Sutiaji, during a meeting with the National Land Agency (BPN) of Malang City and the Head of Religious Institutions in the Mayor's Meeting Room, Malang City Hall, Monday (17/4/2023).
"This morning's agenda is to establish and strengthen synergy so that Malang City can get the title of Complete City in the near future. We are accelerating the certification of land assets. One of which is managed or used for houses of worship," explained Sutiaji.
Complete City means that the land mapping has been registered in its entirety and officially at the BPN. The criteria that must be met are that the entire area has been mapped and recorded properly both textually and legally or has a certificate of legal certainty.
"Currently, it is mapped both in terms of data and numbers. Detailed, for example, the taxation aspect, licensing, or other mechanisms because each case will be treated differently. Then it is inventoried, for example, how much is the grant, the data is collected and then verified by the BPN," said the Mayor of Malang.
