Regarding concerns that land prices in some areas are higher than generally perceived, Mr. Phấn noted that these are preliminary observations.
A key criterion in developing land price tables is ensuring alignment with market conditions.
Therefore, it is unacceptable for local authorities to arbitrarily lower land prices significantly below market rates. Land prices must closely reflect market dynamics and adhere to other regulatory criteria to ensure accuracy and fairness.
Mr. Mai Văn Phấn further emphasized that land price tables serve multiple purposes beyond market transactions, with a primary goal of securing state budget revenue.
When issuing land price tables, local authorities have conducted thorough evaluations and careful considerations. Land prices are not solely based on market transaction values but must also meet all regulatory criteria for accurate application starting January 1, 2026.
Regarding the Wealth and Clean National Land Database Campaign under Plan 515 dated August 31, 2025, the Deputy Director of the Land Management Department reported that the campaign was implemented in 2025 and concluded on November 30, 2025.
The campaign’s initial target was to clean and synchronize data for 49.7 million land plots. By the end of the campaign, localities had updated and synchronized a total of 61 million land plots to the central system, surpassing the initial goal. Approximately 567,000 condominium units have also been updated and synchronized with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, currently being linked to population and national databases.
Of the updated data, around 23.5 million land plots have been fully enriched, cleaned, and processed to ensure accuracy and synchronization. Over 500,000 condominium units have been fully verified and synchronized according to standards.
“The campaign has exceeded both quantity and quality targets, laying a solid foundation for land management and integration with the national database in the coming years,” Mr. Phấn reported.
Additionally, Mr. Phấn mentioned that during the campaign, approximately 37.6 million land plots are still being processed based on field and management record data. These plots will continue to be accurately and thoroughly cleaned to ensure data integrity.
Land user data has been verified three times by the Ministry of Public Security using citizen data. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment is urging localities to further clean and cross-check data to finalize this group of land plots.
