Abstract: The purpose of this study is to create a model of the procrastination on Public Works Office of Semarang City, Central Java. The increasing need for excellent service in the field of building and city planning, is increasingly increasing the workload for employees. The large number of community complaints about old problems and the difficulty of licensing and information and developer problems are important factors in performance appraisal. Factors that cause the length of processing of permits include lack of professionalism of civil servants in carrying out tasks and tend to like to postpone work.
