During the 10th session on the morning of December 11th, the 15th National Assembly adopted a resolution outlining mechanisms and policies to address challenges in implementing the Land Law.
This resolution will take effect from January 1, 2026.
According to the resolution, the National Assembly agreed to add a case where the state can reclaim land for national defense and security purposes, specifically for drug rehabilitation centers managed by the people’s armed forces.
Additionally, as reported by VOV, the National Assembly decided to include three cases where the state can reclaim land for socio-economic development in the national and public interest, as follows:
The resolution also stipulates that land reclamation for national defense, security, and socio-economic development in the national and public interest must complete the approval of compensation, support, and resettlement plans, as well as the arrangement of resettlement as per the Land Law, except in the following cases:
Land reclamation where the compensation, support, and resettlement plan without resettlement arrangements has been publicly posted but not yet approved for nationally important projects, urgent public investment projects as per the law on public investment, and for other projects if more than 75% of land users agree to the land reclamation before the approval of the compensation, support, and resettlement plan;
Land reclamation before completing resettlement arrangements for urgent public investment projects as per the law on public investment, projects implementing in-situ resettlement, and projects where resettlement is arranged along the main construction line.
The government will provide detailed regulations on land reclamation before the approval of compensation, support, and resettlement plans, and land reclamation before completing resettlement arrangements, as reported by Lao Dong newspaper.
Notably, the land price for calculating land compensation and the land price for calculating land use at the resettlement site “shall be calculated based on the land price in the land price table and the land price adjustment coefficient as specified in this resolution.”
In cases where compensation is made with in-situ residential land and the land price at the compensation location is not listed in the land price table, the competent authority or person shall base on the land price in the land price table at a similar location to determine the land price for calculating land use at the resettlement site in the compensation, support, and resettlement plan.
The People’s Committee at the commune level is responsible for reporting to the People’s Committee at the provincial level to submit to the People’s Council at the provincial level for supplementation into the land price table at the nearest session, as cited by Dan Viet newspaper.
