In the 72 projects that the province is calling for investment in October 2025, if the land price calculation is no longer a problem, it will add more strength to these projects for investors.
Silence from reality
Near the end of October 2025, the consulting unit that sought specific land prices for Residential Area No. 5 in Lam Dong of Thousands of Flowers officially withdrew and stopped continuing. This means that there is no need to pay the previously signed fees, even though the certificate has been presented and efforts have been made to fix it after 5 meetings. According to the leader of the Provincial Land Management Department (Department of Agriculture and Environment of Lam Dong), this company is still operating normally in other fields, but it is just not continuing to seek specific land prices for this off-budget project. The reason, everyone sees, is because the contract fee is not much but the travel expenses are high and especially the pressure of great responsibility...
Not long before, the consulting unit that sought specific land prices for two Nam Ha residential areas in Tra Tan commune also withdrew in a similar direction. This is the second consulting unit, after the first consulting unit "ran away". That is, these units all sent people to carry out the results with the certificate presentation, but then, seeing that it was not good, they abandoned it. This is not new, because 5 years ago, in the blue sea area of Lam Dong , a similar situation occurred. Notably, throughout 2023 to August 1, 2024, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment at that time was frantically looking for consulting units to calculate specific land prices for 45 non-budget investment projects, but the situation was like "kidnapping and abandoning the plate". Fortunately, when Decree No. 71/2024/ND-CP takes effect on August 1, 2024, among the 45 projects that have been stuck with calculating specific land prices for a long time, there are 24 projects that lease land and pay annually and are applied according to Clause 1, Article 9. That is, these projects are eligible to determine land prices according to the K coefficient method, which is the land price table multiplied by the land price adjustment coefficient, much simpler than the land valuation methods of calculating specific land prices.
The remaining 21 projects must conduct specific land valuation, using one of the land valuation methods such as: comparison, income or surplus, the calculation methods still rely too much on the subjective judgment of valuation consultants, not ensuring accuracy, especially the surplus method. That is the reason leading to an economic case in the old Binh Thuan area and this has significantly affected the psychology of the officials and civil servants who were in charge of land valuation at that time as well as the consulting units, when they clearly saw that the risk was too high. And this situation has lasted until now, not only within the province.
It is worth mentioning that although the relevant regulations have been revised according to the recommendations of the provinces and cities, the reality shows that the determination of specific land prices for non-budget projects is still "stuck in place". This silent reality has contributed to the revision of the 2024 Land Law and is expected to take effect on January 1, 2026. In the immediate future, from now until the end of 2025, the leader of the Lam Dong Provincial Land Management Department said: "According to our responsibility, we will continue to invite consulting units nationwide to participate in determining specific land prices for non-budget projects".
Looking forward to seeing you
At the meeting on amending the Land Law in September 2025, regarding the financial mechanism and land prices, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment proposed using the land price table and land price adjustment coefficient as the basis for calculating financial obligations and compensation when the State reclaims land; adding the technical infrastructure cost factor to the price determination method. That is, in the direction that the land price table will be used for all policies, in which, the land price for enterprises with projects to pay money to the budget is also in the direction of the land price table multiplied by coefficient K.
At this meeting, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Phuc - Vice Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee commented that the application of a 5-year stable land price list and adjustment coefficient must be based on practical data, reflecting land price fluctuations in each area to reduce pressure in calculations and ensure effective project operation. The land price fluctuation coefficient needs to be determined based on market data, avoiding mechanical application, and at the same time considering the option of paying land fees at once for the entire project life cycle to facilitate businesses and management agencies.
On the other hand, according to press information, a representative of the Department of Land Management affirmed that completing the process of determining the first land price and specific land price is a necessary step to ensure publicity, transparency, science and feasibility in land management practice. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment is continuing to coordinate with localities, updating the process of amending decrees guiding the implementation of the 2024 Land Law, ensuring consistency, suitability for each region, each type of land and socio-economic development requirements.
Some businesses with projects waiting for specific land prices in the Lam Dong Blue Sea area over the past few years said they are looking forward to the above amended regulations taking effect. This will help the project to start, production and business activities to go smoothly and most importantly, businesses will have the opportunity to develop.
Following the direction of amending the land price to be specific and close to reality, especially effective from January 1, 2026, will be the way out to help Lam Dong's socio-economic development break through in 2026. Because in the largest province in the country, not only are there a series of projects that have been waiting for specific land prices for several years to fulfill financial obligations to the State. Most recently, in the 72 projects the province called for investment in October 2025, if the land price calculation is no longer problematic, it will add more strength to these projects for investors. In particular, a review shows that there are many concentrated residential area projects, projects with a scale that changes a land area when put into operation...
Thereby, the decision to increase budget revenue, improve deserted areas, create more jobs... helps to move faster towards the results set by the recent 1st Lam Dong Provincial Party Congress.
