INFOKU, BLORA -It turns out that not onlyPati, Land and BuildingTaxPBB) in Blora has experienced a 100 percent increase.
This was acknowledged by a Blora resident, Dedi, who lives on Jalan Ahmad Yani.
He admitted that suddenly the PBB that was billed had jumped by IDR 400 thousand, so he complained about the increase.
"Previously, in 2024, it was only Rp 205,000. In fact, from 2019 to 2022, it was still Rp 114,000. Now (in 2025), it's Rp 400,000," he explained to the press .

According to him, during the PBB increase he experienced, this was the first time there had been no outreach.
"Yes, when the rate increased in 2023 and 2024, there was publicity from the government. There was no mention of it for 2025. I was shocked . It suddenly increased to Rp 400,000," he explained.
In fact, when he received the PBB bill from the local RT, the RT head was reluctant to convey it.
"The neighborhood head was even embarrassed when I wanted to deliver the bill. It was because the price had increased significantly," he explained.
Compared to Pati Regency, he also felt he could not protest the policy.
