People have reported that currently, the adjusted agricultural land price list is insignificant, still low compared to the market. However, the valuation of residential land in some places has increased 10 times, leading to an insignificant deduction for agricultural land.
When people have a need to convert to residential land, [Land use fee payable = Land use fee calculated according to residential land price minus Land use fee calculated according to agricultural land price]; so land use fee payable increases because the agricultural land is not properly priced.
Responding to this content, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Da Nang City responded as follows:
Regarding the policy of collecting land use fees when converting the purpose from agricultural land to residential land:
According to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 8 of Decree No. 103/2024/ND-CP dated July 30, 2024, in case a household or individual changes the purpose of using land from agricultural land to residential land, they must pay 100% of the difference between residential land prices and agricultural land prices, which is true to the people's reflection.

In particular, the land prices of the routes in the Olalani project increased 4.89 times. However, the Olalani project does not have agricultural land, so the land use fee due to changing the land use purpose is not affected.
