The granting of ownership rights over state land constitutes an administrative act that must be exercised on the basis of lawful authority, proper procedures, and objectives consistent with land administration law. This study aims to analyze forms of abuse of authority in the granting of ownership rights over state land and the administrative accountability that may be imposed on officials who commit such violations. The research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Legal materials are analyzed qualitatively and prescriptively by examining rules concerning governmental authority, abuse of power, validity of administrative decisions, and mechanisms of administrative accountability. The findings show that abuse of authority may occur through defects of competence, procedural violations, improper determination of land objects, use of invalid documents, deviation from the purpose of authority, and inadequate verification of land data. Administrative accountability may take the form of correction, revocation, annulment of decisions, rectification of land records, disciplinary examination, and administrative sanctions. Civil or criminal liability may also arise where the relevant legal elements are fulfilled, but such liability must be distinguished from administrative errors to prevent disproportionate expansion of legal responsibility.
