Regarding the authority to permit the conversion of land use purposes, it is applied according to the provisions of Article 59 of the 2013 Land Law.

To be specific:

The Provincial People's Committee decides on land allocation, land lease, and permits for the conversion of land use purposes in the following cases:

- Allocation of land, leasing of land, and permitting the conversion of land use purposes for organizations;

...

The District People's Committee decides on land allocation, land lease, and permits for the conversion of land use purposes in the following cases:

- Allocation of land, leasing of land, and permitting the conversion of land use purposes for households and individuals. In the case of leasing land to households and individuals, and permitting the conversion of agricultural land use purposes to commercial or service purposes with an area of 0.5 hectares or more, then written approval from the Provincial People's Committee is required before the decision;

Thus, according to this regulation, the permitting of the conversion of land use purposes for individuals and households falls under the authority of the District People's Committee, while the authority to permit the conversion of land use purposes for organizations belongs to the Provincial People's Committee.
