Cost of converting to residential land

People must pay a number of fees including: Land use fees, registration fees, Certificate issuance fees and file appraisal fees.

Land use fee:

The land use fee to be paid depends on the current type of land, location, area, and land price list in the locality. Each province and city has a specific calculation method according to the provisions of the land law

For example, in the case of garden land, ponds adjacent to houses in the same plot of land (belonging to a residential area, previously not recognized as residential land), land use fee = 50% × (Land price - Agricultural land price) × Area.

In case of agricultural land allocated by the State (without collecting land use fees) converted to residential land: Land use fees payable = (Residential land price - Agricultural land price) × Area.

In case of non-agricultural land (not residential land) that the State has allocated or leased for a certain period of time, the formula will depend on the land price of the original land type and the remaining term

Registration fee = (Land price according to × Area price list) × 0.5%.

Red book issuance fee: Each locality has different regulations, usually not exceeding 100,000 VND.

dossier appraisal fee: Issued by the Provincial People's Council.
