At the press briefing for the second quarter of 2024 on the afternoon of July 23, Mr. Tang Vu Em - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ca Mau city, Ca Mau province - informed: "The deadline has expired but the owner of the villa is said to be The most beautiful place in Ca Mau has not yet converted land use purposes according to regulations. To ensure the correct implementation of legal regulations, departments and divisions of Ca Mau city worked with Mr. Xi's household. Thereby, request Mr. Xi to change the land use purpose for the area in accordance with the land use plan of 2,261 m2 and restore the original status before the violation, for the land area of 1,303 m2.
Ca Mau City People's Committee will coordinate with specialized agencies to carry out the enforcement process and handle the next steps in accordance with the law. Previously, the Ho Tap Facebook account continuously posted images and livestreamed the construction process of the building introduced as "the most beautiful in Ca Mau province".
However, through inspection, this project violated construction on aquaculture land. Both plots of land are not eligible to change the use purpose from aquaculture land to rural residential land, because they do not conform to the construction planning.
On January 9, 2023, the People's Committee of Ca Mau City decided to fine Mr. Ho An Tap a fine of 22.5 million VND. At the same time, the authorities forced Mr. Xi to overcome the consequences and "forcibly restore the original condition of the land before the violation".
However, on November 15, 2023, the People's Committee of Ca Mau City decided to amend and supplement part of the above penalty decision. According to this decision, the city amended and supplemented remedial measures for Mr. Xi's violating works. Accordingly, the People's Committee of Ca Mau City forced Mr. Xi to maintain the current land use status as at the time of discovering the violation (ie when the villa was built).
Villa owners must carry out land procedures (change of land use purpose) according to regulations for an area of more than 2,261 square meters. Along with that is restoring the original status of more than 1,303m2 (with fence).
