The liquefaction at Petobo, Central Sulawesi affected at least 1.8 square kilometers, destroyed up to 744 houses, and caused more than 104 casualties. The data offered in this article are microtremor measurement datasets at the liquefaction site of Petobo, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The datasets were recorded using 3 component (3C) Guralp 6T-D broadband seismometer. There are 14 microtremor datasets, which consist of 10 datasets measured inside the liquefaction affected site and 4 datasets recorded outside the liquefaction affected site of Petobo, Central Sulawesi. Two to four datasets with 20 min length, were recorded at different times at each location. The microtremor data is crucial for horizontal to vertical (H/V) spectral ratio analysis, from which both the fundamental frequency and ellipticity curve at the measured site are deduced. The site fundamental frequency is useful for estimating the characteristics of the sub-surface condition at the measured site. The curve of the Rayleigh waves fundamental mode is needed to develop the shear wave (S-wave) velocity profile of the measured site.
