Building permits can be issued online

This information was stated by the Government in the report on acceptance, explanation and revision of the draft Law on Construction (amended) sent to the National Assembly Standing Committee. Currently, the time limit for granting a license for individual houses is 15 days, for constructions (not private houses) 20 days and for constructions of level I and II a maximum of 30 days from the date the management agency receives a complete and valid dossier.

The Government said that the construction permit issuance procedures will be simplified to the maximum in the guiding decree, after the Construction Law (amended) is passed by the National Assembly and takes effect. The construction permit application will be simplified through the use of a national database system related to construction, land and population. State management responsibilities will still be ensured. The maximum time for granting a construction permit is expected to be reduced to 7-10 days.

National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man requested the drafting agency and the reviewing agency to continue to closely coordinate and perfect the draft Law.

Regarding the expansion of exemption from construction permits, the National Assembly Chairman noted that this is an issue that needs to be carefully calculated to ensure feasibility and avoid complicated disputes and complaints. Particularly regarding the expansion of exemption from construction permits for individual rural houses, the National Assembly Chairman requested that the limits on area scale be clearly defined; the condition that the location of the construction exempted from permits must not be within a traffic corridor or heritage area.

Regarding the construction of a national database on construction, the National Assembly Chairman emphasized the need to strengthen digital transformation, digitize information and apply artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen inspection and control in the construction sector. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to have serious preparation in finance, technology, human resources and coordination mechanisms between relevant ministries and branches in integrating and sharing data.
