What is agricultural land located in residential areas?
Article 9 of the current Land Law Classification of 3 groups: agricultural land, non -agricultural land and unused land. In particular, each type of land is used for different purposes. Thus, the current Land Law has no regulations on agricultural land located in the residential area.
However, in reality, the use of agricultural land in residential areas is quite common, especially in large cities that people often call "interspersed land".
Because it is located in the middle of a residential area, the agricultural land area is often quite small and mainly garden land, pond land, annual crop land or other agricultural land.
With agricultural land located in residential areas, when conducting land transactions, it is often relatively complicated.
