On December 4, at a press conference of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Mr. Mai Van Phan - Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management - informed about the progress of the campaign to enrich and clean up land data.
According to Mr. Phan, as of November 30 - the deadline of the campaign - localities have completed updating and synchronizing data to the Central Government. The results showed:
More than 61 million plots of land and about 567,000 apartments have been synchronized to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and are continuing to be synchronized into the national database. According to the data alone, the land has been enriched, cleaned, done correctly and enough, to date reaching about 23.5 million plots of land, along with more than 500,000 apartments.
The second group of data is the group collecting from land users and management records of state agencies, currently there are still about 37.6 million plots of land that are continuing to be cleaned. The Ministry of Public Security has conducted a review and authentication of information about land users according to the third citizen identification card, ensuring accuracy. Localities continue to be required to improve and update regularly.
Regarding the next solutions, the Deputy Director of the Department of Land Management said that land data is not a "come-and- end" job, but must be continuously updated and put into practical operation. Along with that, the data section outside the scope of the campaign will be processed; a project is under construction, expected to be implemented in 2026 to complete the remaining data section.
The National Land Database (LDL) Enrichment and Cleaning Campaign will be implemented for 90 days, from September 1, 2025 to November 30, 2025, nationwide. The campaign has reviewed and cleaned all land databases built over periods at 2,342/3,321 commune-level units; collected, digitized, and created data for Certificates (residential land, housing) issued but not yet built databases.
The implementation content will focus on completing the Land register to ensure the criteria of "correct - sufficient - clean - vital", in which developing technical guidance documents, professional procedures on collecting, updating, editing, and supplementing land register information; at the same time, reviewing and classifying land data that has been built up to date, in accordance with the model of local government at 2 levels.
Also at the press conference, Mr. Mai Van Phan answered about the land price list, according to the Deputy Director, localities must issue it to apply from January 1, 2026. To date, some localities have announced land price lists to apply from the beginning of 2026.
Some localities that issue land prices are identified as high. But that is the identification, and the regulation to build a land price list has an important criterion of being suitable for the market. It is also impossible to let the land price market be very high, but the locality can lower the land price down. Localities must closely follow this criterion to ensure suitability with the market, said Mr. Phan.
According to Mr. Phan, the new land price list is applied with many contents, the most basic of which is to ensure revenue for the state budget and must be evaluated in many directions.
