A resident reflected on problems related to the issuance of Land Use Right Certificates (red books) and policies on exemption and reduction of land use fees for families with relatives who are war invalids.
According to feedback, people want to know the legal basis for considering issuing Certificates of Land Use Rights as well as the application of policies to exempt and reduce land use fees for war invalids.
Answering this content, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that the case raised by the people is a specific case, under the authority of the locality to consider and resolve. The handling needs to be based on land storage records as well as regulations issued by the locality according to their authority to be implemented in accordance with legal regulations.
The Ministry said that current land law has clearly stipulated the grounds for issuing Certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land for the first time to households and individuals using land. These regulations are mentioned in Article 137, Article 138, Article 139 and Article 140 of the Land Law, and the determination of residential land limits is carried out according to Article 141 of the Land Law.
For cases of people with meritorious services to the revolution, including wounded soldiers, the law also has regulations on policies to exempt or reduce land use fees when carrying out procedures related to residential land according to current regulations.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that the exemption and reduction of land use fees are implemented according to Decree No. 103/2024/ND-CP of the Government on land use fees and land rent; this decree has been amended and supplemented in Decree No. 291/2025/ND-CP. People need to base on these regulations to determine whether their cases are eligible for exemption or reduction of land use fees or not.
In case there are still problems related to the policy of exemption and reduction of land use fees, the Ministry requests people to contact the Ministry of Finance or competent authorities in the locality for specific guidance according to the functions and tasks of each agency.
