The Government has just issued Resolution No. 303/NQ-CP on solutions to effectively implement two-level local government according to the Conclusion of the Politburo and Secretariat.
In the resolution, the Government assigned the Ministry of Construction to review and amend legal regulations in the direction of promoting decentralization and delegation of authority to localities to manage construction activities and issue construction permits.
Strengthening the work of building institutions and policies, promulgating technical standards, and inspecting and supervising the compliance with legal regulations in the industry and field.
Regarding construction permits, in Official Dispatch No. 78/CD-TTg dated May 29, 2025, the Prime Minister clearly directed to focus on reducing and simplifying administrative procedures in the construction sector.
Previously, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Danh Huy said that for legal documents related to the construction sector and licensing regulations, the Ministry of Construction reviewed the decrees and circulars issued by the Ministry of Construction.
The Ministry of Construction conducts assessment and summary, because all construction permit procedures for people are issued to all localities.
We create the most favorable conditions for people and businesses, but we also have to assess the impact if there is a removal of licensing, whether people's right to build will affect the legitimate rights of other people and businesses. The Ministry of Construction will immediately deploy the summary and evaluation, and localities will re-evaluate.
"The Ministry of Construction will revise, amend, and reduce procedures from the Construction Law. All of these contents will be completed in 2025. In the immediate future, for areas with approved 1/500 detailed planning, they can be revised immediately, and licensing will be exempted immediately. There will be no need to issue construction permits to people.
Or areas that already have urban design according to the General Law, then use that urban design. We can manage the state, see the state's management role, then immediately stop granting licenses to people. Currently, we are doing it like that, with such progress and plan" - Deputy Minister Nguyen Danh Huy said.
According to Deputy Minister Nguyen Danh Huy, the immediate benefits are clear: people do not have to ask for permission, saving costs and time; and state agencies also reduce the burden of human resources and administrative procedures. However, cutting a procedure needs to be carefully considered to avoid arising consequences.
Previously, on June 12, 2025, the Government issued Decree No. 140/2025/ND-CP regulating the division of authority of two-level local authorities in the field of state management of the Ministry of Construction (effective from July 1, 2025). According to the decree, the authority to grant construction permits as prescribed in Clause 2 and Clause 3, Article 103 of the 2014 Law on Construction (amended and supplemented in 2020) is exercised by the People's Committee at the commune level. The authority to approve construction sites is stipulated in Clause 9, Article 53 of Decree No. 175/2024/ND-CP of 2024 of the Government detailing a number of articles and measures to implement the Law on Construction on the management of construction activities, implemented by the People's Committee at the commune level. |
