Citizens send questions to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment with the content: The Land Law and current guiding decrees do not stipulate the authority to adjust land acquisition decisions issued before July 1, 2014. It is proposed that the Ministry provide specific guidance on determining the authority to adjust in this case: is it carried out by the agency that issued the previous land acquisition decision or is it under the authority of the agency or person with land acquisition authority according to the 2024 Land Law and Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP.
After studying the content of feedback and recommendations, the Land Administration Department has the following opinions:
When implementing the 2-level local government model, the Government issued Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP dated June 12, 2025, stipulating the decentralization of authority of 2-level local governments, decentralization, and decentralization in the field of land, effective from July 1, 2025.
According to this regulation, there is no longer district-level government and land acquisition decisions are made by the Chairman of the Commune-level People's Committee. Therefore, the adjustment of land acquisition decisions (if any) must be consistent with the provisions of Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP, laws on local government organization and other relevant laws.
