In the near future, building houses in many areas of Ho Chi Minh City only requires notification, no need to apply for a license
Through the review, there are currently about 360 areas in Ho Chi Minh City with about 55,000 plots and land that are eligible for exemption from construction permits.
This information was announced by Mr. Huynh Thanh Khiet - Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction on June 19.
According to Mr. Huynh Thanh Khiet, the Department of Construction is focusing on reviewing the planning, in which priority is given to decentralizing the authority to grant construction permits.
The construction licensing authority for individual houses and level III and IV works will be transferred from the People's Committees of districts to the People's Committees of wards and communes.
Regarding the exemption of construction permits, Mr. Khiet said that the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction is coordinating with the People's Committees of districts, towns and Thu Duc City to review and count areas that are eligible for application.
These are areas that have detailed planning at a scale of 1/500 and fully meet technical and legal conditions according to regulations. At that time, people do not need to ask for construction permits but only need to announce the start of construction.
