Steps to convert agricultural land to residential land according to new regulations

(Dan Tri) - Agricultural land users submit applications to change land use purposes according to regulations. Then, the competent land management agency checks the conditions for changing land use purposes.

Clause 5, Article 116 of the 2024 Land Law stipulates that households and individuals are allowed to change the purpose of using agricultural land in residential areas, agricultural land in the same plot of land with residential land to residential land if it is consistent with the district-level land use planning or general planning or zoning planning according to the provisions of the law on urban planning approved by competent authorities.

The 2024 Land Law allows the conversion of agricultural land use purposes to residential land use as district-level land use planning instead of annual district-level land use planning as before in the 2013 Land Law. District-level land use planning is stipulated in Article 62 of the 2024 Land Law for 10 years (20-year vision). And district-level land use planning is established annually.

Thus, households and individuals are allowed to change the purpose of using agricultural land to residential land if it is consistent with the approved district-level land use planning.
