Accordingly, readers have questions about whether adjacent to the family's residential land is a plot of land for growing annual crops, located in an existing residential area and under the residential area planning.
Because the agricultural land plot is interspersed with other plots without a separate path, the family has reserved a part of the land of the residential land plot as a path to the above-mentioned annual crop plot.
Now the reader wants to divide the land for his children to live on, so he has asked to change the purpose of using this annual crop plot to residential land.
However, the local government said that because the land plot did not have a traffic road, it was not eligible to change the purpose to residential land.
Meanwhile, citing the provisions of Clause 5, Article 116 of the 2024 Land Law, households and individuals are allowed to change the purpose of using agricultural land in residential areas if it is consistent with the district-level land use planning.
Readers wonder, can family land be converted to residential land?
Responding to the above issue, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment recommends that readers contact the district land management agency or the provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment for instructions on converting the purpose of using a part of residential land (inside a residential land plot) into traffic land to make a path to another annual crop plot.
On that basis, carry out procedures to request the conversion of land plots for other annual crops to residential land purposes according to the provisions of Clause 5, Article 116 of the 2024 Land Law.
Clause 5 clearly states that the basis for allowing the conversion of agricultural land use purposes in residential areas, agricultural land in the same plot of land with residential land to residential land or the conversion of non-agricultural land use purposes other than residential land to residential land for households and individuals is the district-level land use planning or general planning or zoning planning according to the provisions of the law on urban planning approved by competent authorities.
