Land Prices in Dong Nai Could Surge Up to 9 Times by 2026: Authorities Urge 76 Wards and Communes to Expedite Draft Responses

Notably, in the former Dong Nai area, urban residential land prices are proposed to increase by an average of 3.6 times (ranging from 1.6 to 9 times) compared to current rates. The highest increase is in Bao Vinh Ward, while the lowest is in Bien Hoa. In rural areas, the average increase is approximately 3.2 times (ranging from 2.3 to 6.8 times), with Tan Phu Commune seeing the highest rise and Trang Bom Commune the lowest.

Meanwhile, agricultural land prices along many roads are proposed to increase by 1.1 to 2.2 times compared to current rates. Provincial roads and main axes with high population densities or located at intersections of major traffic routes are expected to see stronger increases, averaging between 1.8 and 2.2 times.

In the former Binh Phuoc area, agricultural land prices are rising more modestly, ranging from 1.05 to 1.2 times compared to current rates, primarily along provincial roads and densely populated residential areas. Land prices in rural roads, inter-commune routes, and remote areas remain relatively stable.

For residential land, previously, reference prices were mainly based on auction results during the land fever period. However, the market has since cooled. Survey results indicate significant price reductions in transactions within certain residential areas, particularly in Binh Phuoc Ward, where prices along major roads have dropped by 10–20%. Prices on other routes remain largely stable, while newly developed infrastructure and urban renewal projects are proposed to increase by 1.2 to 1.4 times compared to current rates.

The Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee considers this a crucial step in establishing the new land price framework for the province. It will serve as the basis for determining land-related financial obligations, compensation for land clearance, and various socio-economic activities in the coming period.

However, according to a report by the Dong Nai Department of Natural Resources and Environment, while the new land price list is under development, many localities have yet to submit their feedback. As of October 5, the consulting unit completed the draft 2026 land price list and sent it to the department’s specialized divisions and 95 communes and wards for input. At the time of reporting, only 1 commune had agreed with the draft, 18 communes and wards provided feedback on roads and land prices, while the remaining 76 communes and wards had not yet responded.

Given the slow progress in feedback, the Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee has instructed the 76 communes and wards that have not yet responded to urgently review and contribute opinions on the draft land price list provided by the consulting unit, ensuring alignment with reality and legal regulations. The Department of Home Affairs is tasked with monitoring and consolidating feedback progress and reporting to the Provincial People’s Committee.

The Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee emphasizes that the issuance of the 2026 land price list holds significant importance. It not only serves as the basis for determining financial obligations and compensation costs but also directly impacts the real estate market, socio-economic development, and the livelihoods of residents in the province.
