Accordingly, Clause 11, Article 1 of Decree 226/2025/ND-CP amends and supplements Clause 2, Article 20 of Decree 71/2024/ND-CP as follows:
Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 20 of Decree 71/2024 on determining land location in the construction of land price lists and the actual situation in the locality, the Provincial People's Council stipulates specific criteria to determine the location for each type of land, the number of land locations in the land price list at the same time as deciding on the land price list.
For plots of land and land with favorable or unfavorable factors in land use, the People's Council at the provincial level shall base on the actual situation in the locality to regulate price increases or reductions for some of the following cases:
- Commercial, service land, non-agricultural production and business land that is not commercial or service land with high profitability, with advantages in using land as a production, business, commercial and service premises; agricultural land in residential areas, within ward administrative boundaries; agricultural land in the same plot of land with housing.
- Residential land plots with more favorable or less favorable factors affecting land prices than residential land plots with the same land location in the land price list.
Thus, from August 15, 2025, in addition to determining land location in the construction of the land price list, the Provincial People's Council needs to base on the actual situation to stipulate specific criteria to determine the location for each type of land, the number of land locations in the land price list at the same time as deciding on the land price list.
Previously, the Provincial People's Council was allowed to increase or decrease prices only based on determining land location in the construction of land price lists.
In addition, the new regulation adds "agricultural land in the same plot of land with housing" to the group of land that can increase/ decrease prices.
Previously, only stating "higher prices" (increases) for commercial, service land, agricultural land in residential areas, Decree 226/2025 clearly stipulates that land types can increase or decrease according to reality.
