There are still over 11,400 surplus properties and land parcels that have not been processed.

The provinces have completed the initial phase of arranging and handling surplus land and buildings arising from the streamlining process, ensuring that all assets have agencies or units responsible for their management, use, and exploitation.

On the afternoon of June 1st, during a press briefing, Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh, Director of the Department of Public Assets Management ( Ministry of Finance ), stated that there are still 11,412 surplus land and property assets that have been subject to recovery and transfer to local authorities for management, but have not yet been fully processed or put into complete use.

Of these, 5,329 facilities have been assigned to housing businesses or land development organizations for management but have not yet been put into operation; 2,823 facilities have had their disposal plans approved but not yet completed; and 3,260 facilities do not yet have disposal or operation plans.

For central ministries and agencies, 3,446 properties have been processed, but 702 remain unprocessed. Some agencies still have a large number of surplus properties that have not been processed, such as the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the Supreme People's Court .

To date, localities have completed the initial phase of arranging and handling surplus land and buildings arising from the streamlining of organizational structures and the reorganization of administrative units, ensuring that all assets have agencies or units responsible for their management, use, and exploitation.

According to the Head of the Department of Public Assets Management, in phase 1 (from July 1st to December 31st, 2025), the processing of 26,447 local land and property facilities has been completed; of which, 3,015 facilities have been allocated for education and training purposes; 648 for medical facilities; 2,385 for cultural and sports facilities; and 626 for other public purposes...

According to the Department of Public Assets Management, from the beginning of 2026 to the end of the second quarter of 2026, there are still 16,101 local land and property facilities that have been subject to recovery and transfer decisions and require further processing and thorough exploitation. To date, the number of surplus land and property facilities that have been processed or put into exploitation is 4,709.

The Ministry of Finance assesses that the arrangement and handling of public assets in the past period has made a significant contribution to ensuring the smooth operation of the two-level local government apparatus after the restructuring. At the same time, this process has also created additional land resources and infrastructure for essential sectors such as education, health, culture, and sports, contributing to improving the quality of public services and people's lives.

However, the progress in handling and utilizing surplus houses and land in phase 2 is uneven among localities. While some localities such as Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Cao Bang, Lang Son, and An Giang only have a small number of facilities remaining to be processed, many other localities still have a large number of surplus houses and land that have not yet completed the exploitation and utilization phase.

Ms. Tran Dieu An, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Assets Management, stated that the process of handling public assets is facing many difficulties and obstacles. The arrangement and allocation of offices, houses, and land must be carried out within a short timeframe, dealing with a very large volume of assets and simultaneously across the country.

Meanwhile, the organizational structure after the restructuring has undergone many changes compared to before, leading to changes in the requirements for physical infrastructure, demanding flexible allocation and utilization of assets.

In addition, the staff responsible for managing public assets in many localities has been disrupted following the reorganization of administrative units; many officials have to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, increasing pressure and workload.

Some ministries, departments, and localities have not yet fully issued documents within their authority related to the decentralization of public asset management, standards and norms for the use of office buildings, public vehicles, and specialized assets, affecting the progress of asset disposal.

Notably, the exploitation of surplus housing and land is facing difficulties due to a sharp increase in supply following administrative unit reorganization, while demand from both the public and private sectors in many areas has decreased. Many properties are small-scale, located in remote areas, or lack commercial advantages, making them difficult to attract organizations or individuals to rent or utilize. Furthermore, some communes newly assigned to manage surplus assets are still struggling to develop effective utilization plans.

According to the Ministry of Finance, in the coming period, ministries, sectors, and localities need to continue to accelerate the efficient exploitation and use of surplus houses and land; review and improve regulations on public asset management; and consider the results of handling and exploiting surplus houses and land as a criterion for evaluating the performance of heads of agencies and units.

Since May 26th, the Ministry of Finance has submitted a proposal to the Government regarding the issuance of a Resolution on specific mechanisms and policies to accelerate the processing and utilization of surplus houses and land after the restructuring and streamlining of the political system's organizational apparatus and the reorganization of administrative units according to simplified procedures. The Ministry of Finance is actively coordinating closely with the Government Office to issue the Resolution.

According to the Head of the Public Assets Management Department, to accelerate the processing and utilization of surplus land and buildings after organizational restructuring, specific mechanisms and policies are needed that differ from the current standard procedures.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh stated that the draft proposes several solutions to shorten the processing time, such as simplifying the method of determining rental prices, decentralizing power more strongly to local authorities, allowing flexible adjustments to management and exploitation plans, and reducing unnecessary administrative procedures.

Notably, the draft also proposes allowing adjustments to rental prices in cases where properties have been publicly advertised but no tenants have been selected, in order to prevent prolonged periods of vacant property.
