Reader H.V. T reflected: "My family before July 1, 2025, the address belonged to Cap Thuong 1 hamlet, Tien Tien commune, Hai Duong City, Hai Duong province. On July 1, 2025, my commune merged with Nam Dong ward and was named Nam Dong ward, Hai Phong city.
Currently, the old Tien Tien commune and the new Nam Dong ward do not have a detailed 1/500 construction plan, urban development plan, urban construction plan approved by competent authorities.
So, does my family, when building a house on land under 7 floors, be eligible for exemption from construction permits according to regulations?
The Economic - Construction Investment Management Department, Ministry of Construction has the following opinions: According to the provisions of point g, clause 2, Article 43 of the Construction Law No. 135/2025/QH15 (effective from January 1, 2026) as follows:
Level IV construction works, individual houses with a scale of less than 07 floors with a total floor area of less than 500 m2 and not belonging to one of the areas: Functional area, urban development area identified in the general plan of the city; functional area, rural residential area, urban development area identified in the general plan of urban areas under provinces, under cities, general plan of economic zones, national tourist areas; construction area identified in the general plan of communes; area that has architectural management regulations".
Therefore, it is proposed that citizens study legal regulations for application. If necessary, contact the competent authority issuing construction permits in the locality for specific guidance.
