According to the Department of Finance, to date, the People's Committee of Lam Dong province has approved a plan to handle 527 redundant houses and land after the merger, ensuring compliance with legal regulations and in accordance with actual conditions.
Among these, 192 facilities were transferred to local management; 11 facilities were transferred; 241 facilities were recovered and handed over to the Land Fund Development Center for management and exploitation; 82 facilities were handed over to the Housing Management Center for management and exploitation and 1 facility was temporarily detained for continued use.

The Department of Finance requests agencies, units, and localities to urgently complete dossiers for handling in accordance with regulations, send them to the department for synthesis, appraisal, and submit to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and decision.
As of January 29, the Department of Finance has received 35 documents proposing to adjust the handling plan for 93 facilities, mainly arising the need to arrange additional offices, medical facilities, education, and cultural houses after arranging administrative units.

After listening to the opinions and proposals of departments, branches, and localities, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Ngoc Hiep requested that the handling of public assets must be in accordance with legal regulations, authority, standards, and norms.
The transfer and allocation of surplus public assets must have a strict policy, while prioritizing the fields of education, health, and culture.
Mr. Vo Ngoc Hiep emphasized that communes, wards, and special zones should urgently review the plan to arrange redundant facilities; if there is still a need for use, soon send a document to the Department of Finance for summarization and submission to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and decision.
Leaders of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee requested localities, departments, and branches to absolutely not allow public property to be encroached upon, degraded, damaged, causing waste and loss; and at the same time coordinate, have detailed instructions, and complete handling plans in February 2026.
The Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Finance to preside over and coordinate with departments and branches to specifically guide the handover, management, and use of redundant facilities after arranging the apparatus and administrative units in the province, ensuring compliance with legal regulations.
