Abstract After the enactment of Law Number 22 of 1999 concerning Regional Government, currently the authority of the sub-district head as a regional head has previously been attributive and is now delegative.
the aim of this research is about how is the legality of the sub-district headAos authority to release land rights for private interests.
The research method used is normative juridical.
The research results showed that the legality of the sub-district headAos authority to release land rights for private interests is not fulfilled.
This is because there is not a single clause that states that the sub-district head can sign documents releasing land rights after the enactment of Law Number 22 of 1999 concerning Regional Government, which currently has the authority of the sub-district head as a regional head from previously being attributive and now being delegative, so that the Letter of Relinquishment of Land Rights made and signed by the District Head regarding the location of the land in question, cannot be used as a formal requirement for registration of land rights at the Land Office.
Based on the applicable legal provisions, the deed of releasing land rights for private purposes should be made by a Notary.
An authentic deed provides more legal certainty so as to cause justice for the party who relinquishes its rights/ owner as well as for the next prospective applicant.
Statement of Relinquishment of Land Rights signed by the Subdistrict of Cileungsi declared invalid / null and void.

states AuAll rights to land have a social function.
Ay2 Based on its authority, the state grants land rights to individuals, legal entities or government After obtaining land rights, the land owner already has proof of title, so that he can utilize the plots of land without disturbing the rights or interests of other people as stated by Phan Trung Hien who states that land can be owned by the state, state bodies, organizations or individuals if each meets the legal requirements for land ownership.
Land Rights are rights as intended in Article 16 of Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Principles Regulations.
The land rights referred to include, among others, ownership rights, business use rights, building use rights, use rights, rental rights, forest clearing rights, and forest produce rights.
4 Legal certainty of land rights can be guaranteed by requiring a process of registration of rights whose final product is a certificate of land rights.
Land certificates are letters of evidence of land rights, management rights, waqf land, property rights to flat units and mortgage rights, each of which has been recorded in the relevant land book.
6 The physical land certificate is a crucial document for the This can cause problems, ranging from falsification of certificate data by the land mafia to the many cases of land disputes caused by multiple certificates.
Dual certificates arise due to juridical and physical defects which in this case occur in certificates that are not properly mapped in the land registration map by the local Land Office.
Problems arise when letters of release of land rights are found made by the sub-district head or by the village head or village head, whose function is to create written evidence of land whose rights are relinquished, where the sub-district head should not have the right to make or sign a letter of transfer of rights to land.
land with compensation that has not been certified.
This is confirmed in Article 5 paragraph .
of Government Regulation Number 37 of 1998 concerning Position Regulations for Land Deed Making Officials which, among other things, states that the Subdistrict Head in his position as Temporary the Official Land Deed Maker only has the right and authority to make and sign certain deeds.

ANALIYSIS AND DISCUSSION
Indonesia is a rule of law country.
15 Law is the basis for carrying out legal actions for government administrators,16 including sub-district heads as Temporary the Official Land Deed Maker in carrying out services to the community, especially related to legal actions regarding ownership rights to their land, it is necessary to review what is the legal basis for Temporary the Official Land Deed Maker in making land deeds.
17 Basically, the regulations used by the sub-district head as a temporary the Official Land Deed Maker are the same as the regulations used by special the Official Land Deed Maker and notaries.
Thus, if there is a legal umbrella, then the role of the sub-district head as temporary the Official Land Deed Maker will not be in doubt regarding legal certainty, especially for people who will take legal action regarding land rights that belong to them.

36 An authentic deed provides more legal certainty so as to cause justice for the party who relinquishes its rights/owner as well as for the next prospective applicant.
CONCLUSION
The legality of the sub-district headAos authority to release land rights for private interests is not fulfilled.
This is because there is not a single clause that states that the sub-district head can sign documents releasing land rights after the enactment of Law Number 22 of 1999 concerning Regional Government, which currently has the authority of the sub-district head as a regional head from previously being attributive and now being delegative, so that the Letter of Relinquishment of Land Rights made and signed by the District Head regarding the location of the land in question, cannot be used as a formal requirement for registration of land rights at the Land Office.
Based on the applicable legal provisions, the deed of releasing land rights for private purposes should be made by a Notary.
An authentic deed provides more legal certainty so as to cause justice for the party who relinquishes its rights/owner as well as for the next prospective applicant.
