According to Decree 151/2025/ND-CP dated June 12, 2025, regulating the delineation of authority of local governments at two levels, and the decentralization of power in the field of land, from July 1, 2025, the authority of the People's Committee at the district level, as stipulated in the Land Law, will be transferred to the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level, including: Issuing certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land as stipulated in point b, clause 1, Article 136 and point d, clause 2, Article 142 of the Land Law; Re-determining the area of residential land and issuing certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land as stipulated in clause 6, Article 141 of the Land Law; Recording land prices in decisions on land allocation, land lease, permission to change land use purposes, extension of land use, adjustment of land use duration, and change of land use form falls under the authority of the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level in cases where land prices in the land price table are applied to calculate land use fees and land lease fees; issuing decisions on land prices falls under the authority of the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level in cases where specific land prices are determined as stipulated in Clause 4, Article 155 of the Land Law...
In implementing Government Decree 151/2025/ND-CP, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment issued Decision 2304/QD-BNNMT dated June 23, 2025, on the announcement of land administrative procedures within the scope of state management functions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.
Accordingly, there are 6 procedures related to "land ownership certificates" implemented by the commune level, including: Re-determining the residential land area of households and individuals that were granted certificates before July 1, 2004; Correcting errors in initially issued certificates; Revoking certificates issued incorrectly according to land law regulations when discovered by land users or owners of assets attached to the land, and re-issuing certificates after revocation; Registering land and assets attached to the land, and issuing certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to the land for the first time for organizations currently using the land; Registering land and assets attached to the land, and issuing certificates of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to the land for the first time for individuals, residential communities, households, and people of Vietnamese origin residing abroad; Registration and issuance of land use rights certificates and certificates of ownership of assets attached to land in cases of gifting land use rights to the State or the community, or for road expansion.
The procedures have also been significantly streamlined. Citizens prepare their documents according to the prescribed form and submit them directly to the designated receiving location or through the public service portal. After receiving the documents, land administration officials conduct on-site inspections, compare the documents, and determine the current land use status. Notably, the requirement for a "no disputes" confirmation certificate is no longer required, as the responsibility for verification and post-inspection rests with the local government. If all conditions are met, the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level signs and issues the land title certificate within a maximum of 3 working days from the completion of financial obligations. The total processing time for initial land registration applications is limited to 17 working days, a significant reduction compared to the old process.
It can be said that the changes in the issuance of land ownership certificates are expected to help people in localities shorten procedures, save time and costs, and increase transparency. From the perspective of local authorities, land management will be more practical and effective. This policy is consistent with the two-tiered local government model and aligns with the wishes of the people.
