On April 12, 2024, the People’s Committee of Hanoi issued Decision No. 27/2024/QD-UBND amending and supplementing some provisions of regulations on compensation, support, and resettlement when the State recovers land in the city of Hanoi, issued together with Decision No. 10/2017/QD-UBND of the People’s Committee of Hanoi.

This decision amends and supplements some provisions of regulations on compensation, support, and resettlement when the State recovers land in Hanoi. Specifically:

Firstly, households, individuals using residential land, or Vietnamese residing abroad owning residential houses attached to land use rights in Vietnam shall be compensated without any other residential land or houses in the recovered area. Specifically, in cases where all residential land is recovered or the remaining residential land does not meet the conditions for habitation, compensation shall be made with residential land or houses.

Secondly, for districts, compensation shall be made with resettlement apartment buildings, with a suitable area not exceeding twice the area of the recovered land and not lower than the minimum resettlement quota prescribed. Any excess area beyond this limit or greater than 30m² must be purchased at the house selling price determined by the state authorities.

Thirdly, in projects invested with state budget funds, compensation shall be made with resettlement land, provided that the resettlement land fund is of sufficient scale and area. In cases where it is insufficient, the City People’s Committee shall consider each project and specific case and compensate with land as prescribed.

Fourthly, for districts and towns, compensation shall be made with residential land, provided that it does not exceed the minimum resettlement quota and the maximum limit of residential land allocated at the local level.

Fifthly, when a residential land plot is recovered and multiple households share its use, each household shall be allocated one resettlement quota. The area of land provided shall not exceed the area of the recovered residential land. In cases where the provided land area exceeds this, households need to pay for land use, calculated based on the current land price and adjustment coefficient.
