Registering with tourist police?

Posted by Boo on Wednesday, 14. September 2011 at 07:54 Bali Time:

We are staying at a North coast property shortly. The welcome information includes a section on tourist tax. ie register with tourist police with copies of passport for 30,000 rph each.
Is this normal? I don't recall doing it on previous holidays.
