Many shortcomings and limitations arise
According to the leader of the Land Registration Office (VPDKDD) of Lam Dong province, the whole province currently has 28 regional VPDKDD branches.
After the arrangement and merger of administrative units, the volume of land dossiers arising increased sharply, while human resources were dispersed to perform many tasks outside the plan such as cleaning land data, coordinating inventory, implementing key projects... leading to local shortages.
In addition, the system of land law regulations is still overlapping, and some regulations are not suitable for reality.
The parallel operation of the two land information management systems gives rise to technical errors, affecting the progress of dossier resolution. At many VPDKDD branches, the situation of delayed dossiers still occurs, causing trouble for people.
Mr. Vo Hong Sanh - Director of Dak Song Regional VPDKDD Branch - said that land dossiers have increased sharply due to the arrangement of administrative units.
The need to renew certificates to update new boundaries, along with procedures for transferring, changing land use purposes, mortgages... makes work pressure increasingly high.
In 2025, the Branch received more than 11,000 dossiers, resolved over 9,700 dossiers, the on-time rate reached 94.4%; 5.6% of dossiers were delayed. In the last 6 months of the year alone, the number of dossiers received was about 7,000, an increase of nearly 2,000 dossiers compared to the same period.
According to Mr. Sanh, facilities and equipment are degraded, storage warehouses are cramped; cadastral data is not synchronized, old maps are distorted compared to the current situation. Meanwhile, one-stop software still has many inadequacies, slowing down the updating and editing of dossiers.
Faced with this reality, the branch strengthens coordination in receiving and appraising dossiers; and at the same time encourages public employees to work overtime to reduce delayed dossiers.
Focus on overcoming difficulties and inadequacies
Through review in mid-January 2026, the whole province had 1,803 dossiers under the authority of the Department of Agriculture and Environment delayed, of which 1,789 land dossiers belonged to the Provincial Land Registration Office.
According to leaders of the Lam Dong Department of Agriculture and Environment, in addition to objective causes, there are also subjective causes.
The field of land is complex, overlapping legal regulations make a part of officials hesitant and afraid of responsibility. The arrangement of the apparatus at times disrupts the psychology of workers, affecting the progress of dossier resolution.
Mr. Phan Nguyen Hoang Tan - Director of Lam Dong Department of Agriculture and Environment - said that from the beginning of 2026, the sector will focus on completing the organizational structure, financial autonomy mechanism; tightening coordination regulations, clearly defining the responsibilities of each unit.
At the same time, promote the application of information technology, restructure processes, strengthen data intercommunication between levels, enrich land databases, towards unified use of a management software to minimize delayed dossiers.
Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee requests departments, branches, and localities to strengthen coordination, improve the quality of human resources, and promote digital transformation to improve the efficiency of administrative procedures in the field of land, without causing inconvenience to people.
