"It is essential for individuals interested in purchasing property on the island to understand Baliʼs land zoning regulations, which govern the use of land plots, determine the maximum building height and density, and impose restrictions on construction, particularly in tourist areas. These regulations are driven by various factors, including local land use laws, environmental regulations, and zoning ordinances. Land use zones: Land is categorized into residential, commercial, and agricultural zones, with construction permitted exclusively within designated areas. Environmental restrictions: Building in protected natural areas or near beaches is strictly prohibited, with a legal distance that must be maintained. Architectural requirements include preserving the traditional Balinese style and limiting building height to approximately 15 meters."

"The primary environmental requirements are as follows: Building height restrictions: The height of buildings must not exceed the height of a palm tree (approximately 15 meters) to preserve the natural landscape. Protection of natural areas: Construction is prohibited in nature reserves, mangrove forests, and along rivers and sea shores (within a distance defined by law). Energy efficiency and water supply: New projects must consider the use of environmentally friendly technologies, including renewable energy sources and rainwater harvesting systems. Waste sorting and recycling: The provision of infrastructure to reduce waste and comply with the principles of sustainable development is mandatory. Architectural harmony: Projects must be adapted to the local style and take into account traditional design to preserve the islandʼs cultural heritage. Local authorities will oversee the compliance with these requirements."

To safeguard your investment in real estate in Bali, it is essential to meticulously examine the location, developer, and property documents. Choose plots in zones that allow construction and commercial use, and verify that the developer is licensed and has a proven track record of successful projects. Engaging the services of professional lawyers to review documents can help mitigate risks associated with encumbrances or litigation. Additionally, the quality of construction, including adaptation to the local climate, should be considered, and it is essential to cooperate with a reliable management company to ensure a stable return on investment.
