Specifically, Mr. Pham Tan Loc, Deputy Head of the Registration Department, Ho Chi Minh City Land Registry Office (Department of Agriculture and Environment), stated that during the process of resolving procedures for granting permits to home buyers in real estate projects, the Department of Agriculture and Environment, along with specialized management departments of the city, identified 81,085 cases with unresolved obstacles in obtaining certificates for home buyers in commercial housing development projects.
According to the representative from the Department of Agriculture and Environment, through a thorough review, six main groups of obstacles were identified: cases awaiting tax payments, delayed submission of certificate issuance applications, new real estate projects, projects with additional financial obligations, projects with other complications, and projects under inspection or investigation.
As of now, the progress in addressing these obstacles has reached a rate of 78.7%, with 63,821 out of 81,085 cases resolved. The remaining cases with unresolved issues are primarily related to projects under investigation and inspection, as well as some projects undergoing adjustments in additional financial obligations due to changes in planning indicators.
Regarding the situation where many commercial housing projects have not been granted pink book certificates due to complications related to social housing obligations, Mr. Loc provided an explanation: For cases where land was allocated or the land use purpose was changed before the effective date of Decree No. 49/2021/ND-CP and Decree No. 100/2024/ND-CP of the Government, and the investor fulfilled their obligations to the State (by paying an amount equivalent to 20% of the land fund value for social housing construction), the land price was determined at the time when the competent state agency decided on land allocation, land lease, or land use purpose change.
For cases where land was allocated or the land use purpose was changed before the effective date, and the investor has not yet paid the amount equivalent to 20% of the land fund value for social housing construction, the land price determination time is when the investment in the technical infrastructure system is completed.
However, if implemented according to Clause 3, Article 2 of Decree No. 49/2021/ND-CP and Clause 4, Article 78 of Decree No. 100/2024/ND-CP, there would be a conflict with the provisions of Clause 3, Article 108 of the 2013 Land Law and Clause 3, Article 155 of the 2024 Land Law. This is because land laws through different periods stipulate that the time for determining land prices is when the state decides on land allocation, lease, or land use purpose change.
Consequently, a project would have two different land price determination dates (the date of the state’s decision on land allocation, lease, or land use purpose change as per Clause 3, Article 155 of the 2024 Land Law; and the date of project completion of technical infrastructure investment).
To resolve this issue, the Department of Agriculture and Environment is drafting a report to the City People’s Committee, who will then seek the opinion of the Prime Minister.
