Reader H.P. H asked: Resolution No. 254/2025/QH15 stipulates that in case of changing the land use purpose of a part of a land plot, land separation is not mandatory.
Mr. H's family has a agricultural land plot that has been granted a Certificate of Land Use Rights, but is not adjacent to public walkways, and other conditions for converting agricultural land to residential land are met.
Mr. H asked, if approved by the next household (if this household's land plot is adjacent to a public walkway), will his family be allowed to convert a part of agricultural land to residential land?
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment answers this question as follows:
Conditions for changing land use purposes have been stipulated in Article 116 of the Land Law and Clause 3, Article 4 of Resolution No. 254/2025/QH15.
In case the conditions for changing the land use purpose of agricultural land to residential land are met according to the provisions of land law, and your family has a need to convert a part of the agricultural land plot to residential land, it is not required to separate this area into separate plots.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment provides information for him to study and contact competent authorities in the locality for consideration and resolution according to the provisions of law.
