Quick measurement, red book renewal still takes many days

Huy Hùng |

Citizens reflect that many dossiers for red book re-issuance for small land plots only take a few hours of measurement but have to wait for procedures that take dozens of days.

Citizens send questions to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment with the content:

Currently, I am assigned the task of contacting the Provincial Land Registration Office to carry out extracting and measuring cadastral maps, measuring and adjusting cadastral maps to serve registration of changes and re-issuance of Certificates of land use rights for organizations (units using state budget).

According to the guidance, the measurement is carried out in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 and Article 5 of Decree No. 101/2024/ND-CP dated July 29, 2024 of the Government, accordingly, it is necessary to hire a consulting unit with functions to prepare technical design - cost estimate, task plan to submit to the Department of Agriculture and Environment for appraisal before approval and signing of the implementation contract.

However, through actual implementation, it shows that many cases have very small areas (from about 100 m2 to several hundred m2), the actual measurement time is only from 2–3 hours, but the time to carry out procedures according to the above regulations lasts from 10–15 days, affecting the progress of resolving administrative procedures of the unit.

Therefore, please ask: Is the Provincial Land Registration Office allowed to apply the provisions of point a, clause 3, Article 4 of Decree No. 101/2024/ND-CP to not carry out the preparation of technical design - estimate, task plan for cases of cadastral measurement, correction of cadastral maps to serve land registration of changes, re-issuance of Certificates of land use rights for organizations or not?
