Ho Chi Minh City announced a reduction in construction licensing procedures for individual houses in areas with detailed plans at a scale of 1/500 (or a master plan at a scale of 1/500 and a construction architectural plan) approved or approved in accordance with regulations.
The list of publications (phase 1) includes 112 projects that are eligible for exemption from construction permits according to the provisions of the law on construction.
Not stopping at these projects, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also assigned the Department of Construction to coordinate with relevant units to continue reviewing to announce the second phase on July 15, 2025.
Thus, in just 10 days, there will be an additional list of projects exempted from construction permits announced.
In addition, it will expand the review of other areas in Ho Chi Minh City such as Binh Duong, Ba Ria - Vung Tau (old) and Con Dao special zone, to announce additional project categories and areas eligible for exemption from construction permits according to regulations.
People are very excited to have this information, this is the most specific administrative reform product that people will benefit from right after the arrangement.
Previously, at the Conference to announce the Project to adjust the general planning of Ho Chi Minh City to 2040, with a vision to 2060 held on June 25, Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc, Chairman of the City People's Committee, requested that authorities at all levels not let people apply for construction permits, but only register for construction - according to the Prime Minister's direction.
Just a week later, the first list was announced and the second list was prepared to be announced.
One thing that people want in reforming housing construction procedures is to expand the exemption of individual housing construction permits.
And here, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee assigned the Department of Construction to study and propose a model to simplify construction licensing procedures, including a plan to exempt construction permits for individual houses. The research results must be submitted to the City People's Committee before July 15, 2025.
This means that in just 10 days, the Department of Construction must report, and people will soon receive notices about simplifying construction licensing procedures as well as exempting construction permits.
Through the direction of rectifying construction licensing activities of Ho Chi Minh City leaders, people hope that from now on, everything will be resolved quickly and drastically, towards the goal of benefiting the people.
At the conference on the socio-economic situation in the first 6 months of the year on the morning of July 4, Chairman Nguyen Van Duoc requested units to clearly recognize the shift of management models from control to service, effective management.
Mr. Duoc emphasized: "Don't think that people ask - give - but that people order, suggest that you do".
From now on, people can confidently "ment up", and officials and civil servants will serve.
