Village Asset Lease Rules: Achieving Fair Market Competition & Fiscal Safeguarding

Maximizing the economic potential of village-owned property requires a transparent and competitive framework. The Village Asset Lease Code of Conduct (Tata Tertib) is the definitive instrument for Fair Market Competition. By establishing clear rules for the bidding and leasing process, the Village Government ensures that all community members and external parties have an equal opportunity to utilize village assets. Simultaneously, these rules provide Fiscal Safeguarding, creating legal mechanisms to secure lease payments and ensure that village assets are maintained and returned in optimal condition.

These rules are an essential component of village asset management, aligned with Perbup Situbondo Nomor 72 Tahun 2018, which amends Perbup Nomor 64 Tahun 2017 regarding the Procedures for Village Asset Management.

Standard Operating Rules for Asset Leasing

To achieve high-resolution Fair Market Competition, the leasing process must adhere to the following regulatory standards:

1. Open Bidding System: The lease process must be conducted through an open and transparent system.
2. Minimum Valuation: The base lease value is determined by the official Village Asset Verification Team.
3. Winner Determination: The participant offering the highest bid is automatically designated as the winner.
4. Lease Duration: The standard lease period is set (e.g., 3 years), with mandatory annual payments.
5. Fiscal Commitment: The winner is obligated to pay an initial down payment of at least 10% of the total lease value.

Fiscal Safeguarding and Accountability Measures

To maintain Fiscal Safeguarding, strict financial and maintenance protocols are enforced:

6. Payment Deadlines: Full payment must be completed no later than one week after the lease execution.
7. Default Penalties: Failure to complete payment by the deadline results in the forfeiture of the down payment to the village treasury, and the lease rights are transferred to the second-highest bidder.
8. Stewardship Obligations: The winner is legally bound to guard, maintain, and responsibly utilize the leased village asset.
9. Tax Responsibilities: Property taxes (SPPT) associated with the lease are to be covered by the winner.
10. Asset Restoration: The winner must accept and return the Village Treasury Land (TKD) exactly according to the timeline established in the formal agreement.
11. Discretionary Clauses: Any matters not yet regulated may be detailed based on village consensus and authority as permitted by prevailing laws.

Conclusion: Institutionalizing Transparent Revenue Growth

In conclusion, the Village Asset Lease Code of Conduct is the definitive instrument for Fair Market Competition and Fiscal Safeguarding. It protects the village from loss of income while fostering a professional relationship with lessees. By following the standards set in Perbup 72/2018, the Village Government ensures that its wealth is managed with the highest level of accountability. A fair and firm set of rules is the best way to transform village property into a sustainable source of community prosperity.
