Short Answer:
In 2014, the People's Committee of the commune illegally sold a plot of land to Ms. Tran Thi Hoa's family (Hung Yen province), and the family paid the full amount. In 2017, the People's Committee of the commune planned a residential area, with a 1/500 scale planning drawing, and the Provincial People's Committee allocated land for the residential area planning.
The plot of land that Ms. Hoa's family purchased is one of seven plots in the commune designated for residential development. Ms. Hoa asks whether her family is eligible for a land use certificate.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment responds to this issue as follows:
Ms. Hoa's complaint is a specific matter falling under the jurisdiction of the local authorities and requires consideration and resolution based on archived records and specific regulations issued by the local authorities to implement the Land Law; therefore, the Ministry has no basis to provide an answer. The Ministry would like to state some principles as follows:
Current land law specifically stipulates the issuance of land use certificates and ownership certificates for assets attached to land for the first time to households and individuals currently using land in Articles 137, 138, 139, and 140 of the Land Law.
The Government has fully stipulated the required documents, procedures, and processes in Decree No. 101/2024/ND-CP dated July 29, 2024, regulating basic land surveys; registration and issuance of land use right certificates, ownership certificates for assets attached to land, and the Land Information System; and Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP dated June 12, 2025, regulating the delineation of authority between two levels of local government, decentralization, and delegation of power in the field of land.
Simultaneously, the Minister of Agriculture and Environment issued Decisions No. 2304/QD-BNNMT dated June 23, 2024, and No. 3380/QD-BNNMT dated August 25, 2025, announcing administrative procedures in the field of land within the scope of state management functions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment. These decisions stipulated specific land procedures, including the following steps:
(1) Procedure; (2) Method of implementation; (3) Components and quantity of documents; (4) Time of resolution; (5) Subjects performing the administrative procedure; (6) Agency performing the administrative procedure; (7) Results of the administrative procedure; (8) Fees and charges; (9) Name of application form/declaration; (10) Requirements and conditions for performing the administrative procedure (if any); (11) Legal basis of the administrative procedure.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment informs you of this for your information and consideration. During the implementation of administrative procedures regarding land, if you disagree with the results of the administrative procedure by the competent authority at the local level, you have the right to file a complaint or lawsuit against the administrative decision or administrative act concerning land management as stipulated in Article 237 of the Land Law and Article 7 of the Law on Complaints of 2011.’
