Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just issued a plan to deploy a peak period to perform the task of surveying, mapping cadastral maps, building cadastral records and completing the land database in 2026 in 168 wards, communes, and special zones.
According to the plan, the implementation time lasts 9 months, from April 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, of which the peak period takes place in 60 days, from April 15 to June 15, 2026.
Currently, Ho Chi Minh City has basically covered the entire area with cadastral maps, except for some specialized areas such as Tan Son Nhat airport managed by specialized agencies.
For areas with maps that do not meet quality standards, units such as the City Land Registration Office and the Commune People's Committee are responsible for reviewing and reporting to the Department of Agriculture and Environment to organize supplementary measurements or update data from previous stages.
In 2026, the city aims to complete measurement, make cadastral maps (if necessary), register land and build a database for 447,811 land plots. Progress is divided into quarters: Quarter II completes 1,20909 plots, Quarter III is 205,993 plots and Quarter IV is 1,20909 plots.
With about 2,494,709 land plots already in the database, the city will conduct reviews, matching, and supplementing information to standardize according to the criteria "right - sufficient - clean - living". This completion includes synchronizing 3 data groups: spatial data, attribute data and non-structured data (scanned records).
At the same time, Ho Chi Minh City continues to maintain, update and effectively exploit 1,340,362 land plots that have met the criteria "right - sufficient - clean - living", ensuring data is managed in a digital environment, updated with real-time fluctuations and ready for reuse in resolving administrative procedures.
To ensure synchronous operation, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee agreed to use common platform software and specialized software in managing the land information system, and at the same time review and upgrade information technology infrastructure.
Another focus is to restructure the process of resolving administrative procedures on land in the direction of comprehensive digitalization. The city will minimize paper records for information already in the database, such as residence data or land plot information that has been digitized; expand the list of online public services; and at the same time allow public service systems to connect and exploit directly from the land database.
The land database will also be used as a background data layer, connected to other fields such as planning, public investment, finance, tax and urban management, thereby improving the efficiency of the city's digital transformation.
In addition, Ho Chi Minh City will strengthen connections and share land data with relevant agencies and units to serve the settlement of administrative procedures on land and assets attached to land, and at the same time support the determination of financial obligations for people and businesses quickly and transparently.
