b) For administrative violations that do not fall into the cases specified in Clause 3 of this Article as acts being performed, the time to calculate the statute of limitations for sanctions is the time when the competent person performing official duties discovers the violation.
3. The time of termination of the violation is determined as follows:
a) For the acts specified in Articles 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 of this Decree, the time of termination of the violation is the time when the parties involved have completed their obligations under the signed contract or transaction document;

4. Households and individuals using land before October 15, 1993 without a written handling of violations from a competent state agency before the 2024 Land Law takes effect will not be handled according to the provisions of this Decree.
