Mr. The's family lost the Certificate, only a photocopy is left. Mr. The asked, if the family reissues the Certificate now, will there be a limit on the land allocation for residential use? Mr. The consulted a number of places and was told that there will be a limit, the maximum is only 200 m2 of residential land, the remaining 536 m2 is garden land, if converted to residential land, the land use purpose conversion fee will be about more than 1 billion VND. He asked, is this true?

He also wanted to know, if his family reissues the Certificate and wants to transfer the name to him, what should he do? His household at the time of the Certificate issuance in 2003 consisted of his grandmother, father, mother (who passed away in 2004) and Mr. The.
