Some areas increased by 40%, some remained unchanged
The Department of Agriculture and Environment of Can Tho City is seeking opinions on the draft dossier of the land price list in the city (CB) until December 15, 2025. After that, it is expected that this land price list will be issued in December to ensure effective implementation from January 1, 2026.
According to the draft dossier, the plan to build a land price list in 2026 in Can Tho basically keeps the land price level specified in the 2024 land price list of Hau Giang province (old) and Soc Trang province (old) and will make adjustments to increase fluctuations in some routes, areas, and land types.
Accordingly, residential land in rural and urban areas, such as Ninh Kieu, Cai Khe, Tan An, An Binh wards, ... is currently proposed to increase by 20% to 40% compared to the land price list in 2024. Similarly, the areas of Vi Thanh, Vi Tan, Long Binh, Long My wards, ... are currently proposing an increase of 10% to 20%.
The areas of Phong Dien, Nhon Ai, Thoi Lai, Dong Thuan, Truong Xuan communes, ... are currently proposing an increase of 5% to 10% compared to the land price list in 2024. The remaining communes will remain the same or in some areas will increase by no more than 5% compared to the land price list in 2024.
Adjustment for commercial and service land is calculated at 80% of residential land price; for non-agricultural production and business land is calculated at 70% of residential land price.
Agricultural land groups (such as perennial land; land for growing annual crops including rice land and land for growing other annual crops; aquaculture land) in some areas also increased by 5% to 40%; some communes kept the same or in some areas increased by no more than 5% compared to the 2024 land price list.
For 14 industrial parks and industrial clusters, the proposed price will remain the same according to the land price list of the 3 provinces issued before the merger. The reason is that through investigation and survey, there is no information on transferring land use rights for this type of land.
Pancreatic about new land prices
Before the information about the new draft land price list, many people in Can Tho City said they were quite nervous because it could be affected. They also expect the city to "close" the final plan.
Mr. Than Thanh Luan (An Cu ward, Can Tho city) said that the increase in the 2026 land price list will have a big impact on people such as increasing the cost of making real estate documents, taxes, fees, etc. "It is likely to make it more difficult for us to buy a house, especially for people with low and average incomes" - Mr. Luan said.
However, according to Mr. Le Thanh Tung (Thoi Lai commune, Can Tho city), the 2026 land price list will help make land compensation recovered more fair and transparent in the market.
Assessing the impact of the construction of a land price list of the People's Committee of Can Tho City, the price of land types for some areas, road sections, and routes compared to current land prices will have a positive impact on increasing budget revenue from land, in accordance with legal regulations. Along with that, it is necessary to contribute to creating conditions to speed up compensation, support and resettlement work throughout the city.
Ensuring budget revenue will create investment resources for infrastructure development, contributing to attracting investment for socio-economic development in the area.
In fact, land prices in some areas, locations, routes, and road sections will increase, which will have a certain impact on land users who are households and individuals in fulfilling financial obligations such as paying non-agricultural land use tax, paying land use conversion fees from agricultural land to non-agricultural land (residential land) within the limit.
However, adjusted and supplemented land prices are also considered to match the prices of related road sections and routes and ensure fairness for land users between areas. Therefore, the above impact on the socio-economic situation and the lives of land users is almost insignificant.
