The planning is inconsistent with reality; how long will these 16 plots of land remain "on hold"?

(Baohatinh.vn) - Many households in Cam Lac commune (Ha Tinh province) are facing a paradoxical situation where land plots in the Ba Toa residential planning area (Linh Son village) have been issued land titles but cannot be used.

The Ba Tòa residential area (Lĩnh Sơn village, Cẩm Lạc commune) viewed from above.

In 2015, Ms. Cao Thi Han (Cam Lac commune) was granted land use rights by the former Cam Xuyen District People's Committee for plot number 375, map sheet number 18, with an area of ​​150m² in the Ba Toa residential planning area (Linh Son village), with payment required.

However, in July 2025, when proceeding with the transfer procedures, she unexpectedly received a notice from the People's Committee of Cam Lac commune stating that the land plots in this planned area were subject to disputes and were not eligible for transactions. This forced the transfer to halt.

Ms. Cao Thi Han (Cam Lac commune) is frustrated because she cannot transfer ownership of her land.

Ms. Cao Thi Han expressed her frustration: “ In July 2025, I put down a deposit to buy a plot of land in Ho Chi Minh City and intended to transfer my family's land in the Ba Toa residential planning area. However, during the surveying and transfer process, it was discovered that the land plots overlapped and the coordinates were incorrect. Since then, I have been unable to transfer or use my own land, even though I have all the necessary legal documents. I earnestly hope that the competent authorities will resolve this issue definitively to ensure the rights of the people.”

It's not just Ms. Han; many other households in this planned area are facing a similar situation. According to reports, the land plots have inaccurate coordinates and overlapping boundaries, leading to prolonged disputes. As a result, residents cannot build houses, transfer ownership, or mortgage their land. Many plots have been "frozen" for years, wasting resources and negatively impacting the lives of the residents.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Manh (Cam Lac commune) finds himself in a paradoxical situation: he owns land but cannot build a house for his children.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Manh (Cam Lac commune) said: “ In the Ba Toa residential planning area, my family owns plot number 8, with all the necessary documents. Last year, I planned to build a house for my son, but when I applied for boundary markers, I discovered that the land overlapped, making construction impossible. I have petitioned the commune authorities, but after more than 7 months, the issue remains unresolved, and construction has had to stop.”



Ms. Le Thi Vi's plot of land (Cam Lac commune) in the Ba Toa residential planning area, although surveyed and marked with boundary markers, is now "on hold" due to discrepancies in coordinates between the plots.

Sharing the same sentiment, Ms. Le Thi Vi (Cam Lac commune) said: “ We all have complete and legal land ownership documents, but we can't do anything on our own land, which is very frustrating. We hope the authorities will soon find a solution so that people can have stable lives.”

The land planning map for the Ba Tòa residential area (Lĩnh Sơn village, Cẩm Lạc commune) includes 15 plots of land, each with an area of ​​150 ^m² .

According to the People's Committee of Cam Lac commune, the Ba Toa residential area, previously planned by the People's Committee of Cam Son commune (formerly), had 15 plots of land with street frontage, each plot measuring 150 ^m² (along the 26/3 road passing through the former Cam Son commune), and these plots were allocated to teachers in the area with payment. However, during implementation, the People's Committee of Cam Son commune (formerly) and the People's Committee of Cam Xuyen district (formerly) allocated a total of 16 plots of land with street frontage (which already have land use right certificates as per regulations), meaning one additional plot was allocated compared to the initial plan. This discrepancy between the plan and the actual land allocation is the main reason for the current problems.

Over the years, some land plots have been transferred through multiple owners, including those from outside the locality, making the review and verification of records difficult. In response to this situation, the local authorities have collected and re-examined land records and coordinated with the Cam Xuyen Regional Land Registration Office to conduct a survey of the current state of the planned area. Initial results show that the total land area is still sufficient to allocate 16 plots as originally allocated.

Currently, many households in the Ba Toa residential area have built houses, making it difficult to resolve disputes.

Mr. Hoang Van Hiep, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Cam Lac commune, said: “ The Ba Toa residential planning area was approved during the time of the former Cam Son commune People's Committee. After the merger, the local authorities took over and discovered the errors that existed before. Currently, the commune is focusing on surveying and reviewing the records of each household, organizing meetings with households to agree on a solution; and at the same time advising higher authorities to adjust the planning to suit the current situation. A solution for the households is expected to be available before July 30, 2026.”

The delay in resolving issues in the Ba Toa residential planning area not only affects the legitimate rights of the people but also causes anxiety and resentment among the public. While a solution has been identified, what the people are hoping for now is decisive action, coordinated implementation, and a definitive conclusion from all levels of government to ensure transparency, compliance with the law, and the swift stabilization of people's lives.
