Faced with the backlog of land use right certificates (LURCs) causing public outrage, on May 30, 2022, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council held a session to explain the situation of granting LURCs, house ownership rights and assets attached to land in the province. After pointing out the limitations and weaknesses, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council issued Conclusion No. 251/KL-HDND dated June 2, 2022 requesting the Provincial People's Committee, departments, branches, People's Committees of districts, towns, cities and related units to urgently overcome the problems to regain the trust of the people.

Synchronous and responsible participation
According to the monitoring results report presented by Deputy Head of the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council Dinh Ngoc Thuy at the 24th session of the 18th Provincial People's Council, the implementation of Conclusion No. 251/KL-HDND of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council on the situation of granting land use right certificates, house ownership rights and assets attached to land in the province has always received the attention, synchronous participation and responsibility of all levels and sectors.
In order for Conclusion No. 251/KL-HDND to bring about the highest efficiency, the Provincial People's Committee has issued a plan and assigned specific tasks to departments, branches, and district-level People's Committees in the direction of "clear people, clear work, clear responsibilities, and clear time for resolution".

In addition to advising the Provincial People's Committee to thoroughly resolve many difficult and complicated cases in Thieu Giang commune (Thieu Hoa), Hoat Giang commune (Ha Trung), Yen Bai village, Te Loi commune (Nong Cong)..., the leaders of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment (TN&MT), Thanh Hoa Land Registration Office have worked directly with the People's Committees of 16 districts, towns and cities on the work of reviewing, counting and classifying land registration records in the locality; regularly guiding, urging and inspecting the implementation of the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities and the Branches of the Land Registration Office.
27/27 districts, towns and cities have established Steering Committees or Working Groups to direct the issuance of land use right certificates; at the same time, develop plans to resolve the backlog of records. Maintain quarterly and 6-monthly meetings with commune-level land officials to remove difficulties and obstacles in the process of issuing first-time certificates to households and individuals.
A move in resolving backlog cases
Through review, statistics, and classification, the backlog of records on registration of changes, issuance, and re-issuance of land use right certificates under the jurisdiction of the Thanh Hoa Land Registration Office is 11,159 records. For the district level, in 2022, there will be 67,773 cases; in 2023, there will be 75,068 cases; and in 2024, there will be 55,623 cases.

To resolve this huge backlog of cases, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment has issued many documents directing, urging, and guiding the Provincial Land Registration Office and District People's Committees to develop a resolution plan. To date, 17 districts, towns, and cities have developed plans to resolve the backlog of cases within the required time.
Aiming at transparency and saving time and costs for people, administrative procedure reform (AP) is focused on implementing in many forms such as: Fully posting the set of APs on registration and granting certificates; installing surveillance cameras and publicizing the hotline number at the Reception and Result Delivery Department; publicizing and making transparent the components of the dossier, simplifying the settlement process; promptly handling people's feedback and questions; strengthening inspection, supervision, and strict handling of cadres, civil servants, and public employees who show signs of causing trouble and harassment when handling APs. Currently, 100% of received and resolved dossiers are monitored for processing status on the Provincial APs Handling Information System. At the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, there are 5 APs in the land sector under its jurisdiction that have had their processing time reduced by 20-40% compared to regulations.

In previous years, the story of "greasing" or "bribing" when handling administrative procedures in the land sector has become a "custom". To strictly handle this situation, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment has established a Team to inspect, supervise and support the registration and issuance of land use right certificates, house ownership rights and other assets attached to land of the Thanh Hoa Land Registration Office and conduct inspections at 7 branches of the district-level Land Registration Office. The People's Committees of districts, towns and cities also seriously carry out the work of inspection, examination, supervision and handling and resolving citizens' petitions. Along with receiving citizens according to regulations, district leaders have increased direct dialogue with citizens to resolve recommendations and feedback promptly and effectively.
With synchronous and responsible participation, from June 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024, the whole province received 488,784 dossiers on granting certificates to households and individuals. As a result, 435,587 dossiers were resolved (89.1%), of which 4,667 dossiers were overdue (accounting for 1.07% of the total number of dossiers resolved). Although the situation of overdue dossiers has not been completely resolved for many reasons, the figure has decreased from more than 2.4% in the period of 2019 - 2021 to 1.07% in the period of 2022 - 2024, showing the continuous efforts of the Land Registration Office from the province to the grassroots level as well as the People's Committees at all levels. Thereby, it shows that people's trust is gradually being built.
Further promote responsibility in performing public duties
Excited by the impressive figures of change, but frankly admitting that the issuance of land use right certificates still faces many difficulties and obstacles due to contradictions, overlaps, inconsistencies, and inconsistencies between land laws and other related laws, such as the Investment Law, Enterprise Law, Bidding Law, Construction Law, Housing Law, etc. The review and classification of the backlog of land use right certificates is still manual, and the capture and update of information is not timely, leading to frequent changes in data. The cadastral database is not complete and synchronized; cadastral map records are incomplete and not true to reality. Land management work in previous periods was not strict; the management and storage of cadastral records and certificate issuance records were not given attention, so many records were damaged or lost, etc.

In addition to the above objective causes, it is also necessary to emphasize the subjective causes: The leadership, direction, and implementation of the specialized agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and Environment; Land Registration Office, and People's Committees at district and commune levels have not been really drastic. The leadership, direction, management, and operation of the district and commune authorities are sometimes and in some places not strict. Some district People's Committees are slow to develop plans to resolve backlogs or develop plans not based on the results of review, statistics, and classification. The content of the plan is sketchy, the roadmap is unclear, specific tasks are not assigned, and it is not feasible. The work of reviewing, collecting statistics, and classifying specific data for each land plot is still slow and inaccurate.
The results of the initial issuance of certificates for outstanding cases are still very slow, not meeting the requirements, many contents are very low. There are still cases requiring people to provide additional components of the dossier outside the regulations. The settlement of complaints and denunciations about land under the authority of the locality is still slow, the situation of citizens sending complaints to higher levels occurs frequently. Some civil servants and public employees still have an arrogant and harassing attitude, causing bad public opinion among the people; there are signs of avoiding and shirking responsibility when resolving administrative procedures related to land. The work of examining dossiers for granting certificates still has errors, dossiers are returned more than once, the time to resolve dossiers is prolonged. In particular, some cadres, civil servants and public employees violate the law and must be prosecuted.
Delay in granting land use right certificates is not a new issue but it is always a "hot" issue, often receiving the attention of the majority of people. After 2 years of implementing Conclusion No. 251/KL-HDND of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council, there has been a clear change in resolving the backlog of records. In order to firmly form a service mindset among cadres and civil servants, each level, each sector and each individual needs to further promote the spirit and responsibility in performing public duties to build trust from the people and businesses.
