A citizen has raised concerns about a plot of land that has been under a “pending” status for 26 years, despite a land reclamation decision being issued in 1999.
According to the citizen, under the 2024 Land Law, one of the cases where a land use right certificate and property ownership certificate (red book) cannot be issued is when the land has been subject to a reclamation decision by a competent state agency, except in cases where more than 3 years have passed since the decision without the reclamation being executed.
The citizen questions whether they have the right to request consideration for the issuance of a red book in this situation.

In response, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment stated that without specific case files and given that the issue is a specific local matter, they can only provide a general opinion. The ministry falls under the jurisdiction of local authorities for resolution.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment clarified that, according to Article 151, Clause 1(d) of the Land Law, land users are not eligible for a red book if the land has been subject to a reclamation decision by a competent state agency, unless more than 3 years have passed since the decision without implementation.
The 2024 Land Law and its guiding documents outline specific conditions under which households and individuals can be granted a red book.
The issuance of land use right certificates is governed by Articles 137, 138, 139, and 140 of the Land Law.
The ministry advises the citizen to contact the competent local authorities for guidance and resolution in accordance with the law.
