How to issue land use right certificates for land plots located on many administrative units in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Article 30 of Decree 43/2014/ND-CP stipulating the issuance of certificates of land use rights, ownership of houses and other assets attached to land, in case the land of one user is located on many administrative units as follows:
Article 30. Grant of certificates of land use rights and ownership of houses and other land-attached assets in case the land area of a user is located in different administrative units
1. In case a land user has a land area located in different communes, wards and townships but falling within the competence of the same certificate-granting agency, a single certificate of land use rights and ownership of houses and other land-attached assets shall be granted to such land user, which must indicate each land area located in each commune-level administrative unit.
2. In case a land user has a land area located in different communes, wards and townships and falling within the competence of different certificate-granting agencies, a certificate of land use rights and ownership of houses and other land-attached assets shall be granted for each land pared falling within the competence of each certificate-granting agency.
Thus, according to the above provisions, the issuance of land use right certificates for land plots located on many administrative units is divided into two cases:
- In case land use is located on multiple administrative units but under the same authority to issue land use right certificates of one agency, one land use right certificate shall be issued to the land user; in which, each part of the area within the scope of each commune-level administrative unit must be determined.
- In case land use is located on many administrative units but falls under the competence of different agencies to issue land use right certificates, land use right certificates shall be issued according to each land parcel under the competence of each agency issuing land use right certificates.
