Citizens should send questions to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to request clarification of legal regulations on cases where the State reclaims residential land from households and individuals. According to Article 95 of the 2024 Land Law, if the land user is eligible for compensation, he/she will be compensated with residential land. Citizens ask: When compensation is in the form of residential land, the land price for calculating land use fees is determined according to the specific land price or according to the Land Price List issued by the Provincial People's Committee?
Responding to this content, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said: According to Clause 2, Article 91 of the 2024 Land Law and Point e, Clause 1, Article 5 of Decree 151/2025/ND-CP, land compensation is carried out by allocating land with the same purpose of use as the type of recovered land. In case there is no land for compensation, compensation in money will be made according to the specific land price of the type of recovered land, decided by the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level at the time of approving the compensation, support and resettlement plan.
The Ministry recommends that citizens study more relevant regulations and contact local land management agencies for specific instructions.
