Converting agricultural land to residential land is loosening, but it is not easy to do it massively
Speaking with Lao Dong, lawyer Nguyen Hong Tam - Chi Cong & Thien Tam Law Firm LLC - said that according to Clause 5, Article 116 of the 2024 Land Law, households and individuals can apply to change the purpose of using agricultural land to residential land if the land plot is in accordance with the approved district-level land use planning, instead of having to rely on the annual land use plan as before under the 2013 Land Law.
This is an important step of easing, because district-level land use planning is a long-term plan (10 years, vision 20 years), while annual land use planning is less flexible and depends on each specific year.
However, lawyer Nguyen Hong Tam commented that changing land use purposes requires compliance with the overall planning, starting from the national land use planning approved by the National Assembly, to the land use plan at the provincial, district and commune levels. It is expected that after removing the district level from July 1, 2025, there will be new instructions related to changing land use purposes.
According to Mr. Tam, the change of land use purpose depends on the State's land use plan - because land is an asset owned by the entire people and managed according to the plan to ensure factors such as food security and social stability. Therefore, not all cases are allowed to convert from agricultural land to residential land. See more...
