Does inherited land have to register changes in Vietnam?

At Clause 6 Article 95 of the 2013 Land Law stipulates registration of land, houses and other land-attached assets:

6. For the cases of change registration specified at Points a, b, h, i, k and 1, Clause 4 of this Article, land users shall perform the procedures for change registration within 30 days from the date of the change. In case of inheritance, this period is calculated from the date the inherited land use rights are divided.

Therefore, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, land obtained through inheritance must be registered for changes within 30 days. If you do not register changes within 30 days, you will be subject to administrative penalties.

How much is penalty for not registering changes for inherited land in Vietnam?

According to Clause 2, Clause 3, and Clause 4 of Article 17 of Decree 91/2019/ND-CP stipulating failure to conduct land registration as follows:

2. Failing to conduct land change registration as specified in Points a, b, h, i, k and l Clause 4 Article 95 of Land Law in rural areas shall be sanctioned as follows:

a) A fine ranging from VND 1,000,000 to VDN 3,000,000 shall be imposed if land change registration is not conducted within 24 months from the deadline specified in Clause 6 Article 95 of Land Law;

b) A fine ranging from VND 2,000,000 to VDN 5,000,000 shall be imposed if land change registration is not conducted after 24 months from the deadline specified in Clause 6 Article 95 of Land Law.

3. Failing to conduct first-time land registration or land change registration in urban areas shall be met with twice the fine amounts of each case specified in Clauses 1 and 2 of this Article.

4. Rectification measures:

Request persons using land in cases of failing to conduct first-time land registration or land change registration to follow procedures of land registration as per the law.

Based on Point a of Clause 1 of Article 6 of Decree 91/2019/ND-CP stipulating adoption of fine as follows:

1. Adoption of fine on entities committing administrative violations is as follows:

a) Fine amounts specified in Chapter II of this Decree apply to individuals except those mentioned in Point b of this Clause; fine amounts imposed on organizations shall equal twice the fine amounts imposed on individuals for the same administrative violation;

Therefore, the administrative penalty for not registering changes for inherited land also depends on how long the registration is delayed and where the land is located. In addition, there is a remedial measure that requires the land user to register changes for that piece of land in Vietnam.
