From July 1: The People's Committee at the commune level officially has the authority to issue Red Books to people.

From July 1, 2025, according to Decree 151/2025/ND-CP of the Government, local authorities will be reorganized into a two-tier model, leading to many changes in the land sector. One of the notable points is that the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level will have the authority to issue the first Land Use Right Certificate (Red Book) to people.

The Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level has the authority to issue the first Land Use Right Certificate (Red Book) to people from July 1, 2025.

Commune level is strongly decentralized in the land sector.

According to Clause 1, Article 5 of Decree 151/2025/ND-CP, from July 1, 2025, the Chairman of the People's Committee at the commune level is authorized to grant the first Certificate of land use rights and ownership of assets attached to land to domestic individuals, overseas Vietnamese who are Vietnamese citizens and residential communities.

In addition, the People's Committee at the commune level is also decentralized to perform many other important contents in land management, including:

Decision to approve compensation, support and resettlement plan;

Approve the plan for enforcement, land recovery and funding for enforcement;

Decide on specific land prices;

Decision on selling price of resettlement housing in the commune.

Procedures for first-time issuance of Red Book are shortened

A notable reform point is that the procedure for issuing the first Red Book will be significantly shortened. Specifically, according to Appendix I of Decree 151/2025/ND-CP:

Time for first registration of land and property attached to land is no more than 17 working days;

Time for first issuance of Land Use Rights Certificate is not more than 3 working days.

Compared to the old regulations in Decree 101/2024/ND-CP, the registration time is reduced by 3 days, helping to save time for people in the process of carrying out procedures.

People can submit their applications at any unit in the same province.

A new point that clearly facilitates people is that from July 1, land registration and property attached to land (including first registration and change registration) can be submitted at any dossier receiving unit in the same province, instead of only being submitted at the place where the land is located as before.

No more separate confirmation required for planning and disputes

According to Clause 4, Article 18 of Decree 151/2025/ND-CP, when issuing Red Books, the People's Committee at the commune level does not have to separately confirm the compliance with the planning, the absence of disputes or stable land use. This helps simplify procedures, creating conditions for people to easily access and exercise land use rights legally.

Strong decentralization of land management to the commune level not only contributes to streamlining the apparatus, but also helps improve efficiency in serving people, promoting administrative reform and socio -economic development at the grassroots level./.
