Actively complete first land registration

Clear implementation roadmap

According to Mr. Le Anh Tung - Head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Chi Lang district, since the beginning of the year, the district has issued 29 documents directing the strengthening of state management of land.

Continue to widely propagate the 2013 Land Law and its guiding documents to land users in many forms: Propaganda at citizen receptions of the District People's Committee Chairman; propaganda at working sessions with land users to verify and resolve petitions; implementation at village and neighborhood land acquisition meetings; through the propaganda system of the District Culture - Sports and Communications Center.

In particular, to implement the plan for first-time land registration with land users and people assigned land by the State for management, the District People's Committee has issued an implementation plan, clearly assigned responsibilities to departments and offices, assigned specific targets to communes and towns, detailed implementation steps... Regularly urge and require communes and towns to report monthly on the results of first-time land registration.

At the same time, coordinate with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to organize training on land registration for cadres, civil servants of specialized departments, People's Committees of communes and towns. Organize 125 propaganda sessions, implement land registration with the participation of nearly 11,000 land users, create consensus on awareness among the people about the policy of making land registration mandatory.

The District People's Committee also assigned the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to regularly organize meetings to discuss, guide, and resolve difficulties and problems with commune officials, civil servants, and officials of the Land Registration Office Branch. As a result, up to now, 20/20 communes have completed the review and establishment of a preliminary list of land users and land plots that have not been registered for the first time.

Chi Lang district is actively implementing the first land registration.

"Focus" on completion

According to Mr. Vy Nong Truong - Chairman of the People's Committee of Chi Lang district, determining the first land registration as a key task, the People's Committee of the district has requested specialized departments, offices, and People's Committees of communes to resolutely implement this task.

At the commune level, a detailed plan has been developed, a Steering Committee and a specialized working group have been established for each village and hamlet, and all unregistered plots have been reviewed, and each land user has been notified; and people have been encouraged and guided to declare each plot of land. A movement has been launched to promote first-time land registration for land users and those allocated land by the State in the district.

Through land registration, the legal status of land use rights, house ownership rights, other assets attached to land, and land management rights of organizations, households, and individuals are recorded in the cadastral records to update and complete the cadastral database, serving land management; facilitating the exploitation of land information.

However, up to now, the results of land registration are still low; the progress of reviewing and preparing land registration dossiers at the commune level is still slow. The land dossier system has undergone many measurements and adjustments, many types of maps, but the dossiers established later do not include statistics, inheriting the previous dossiers, leading to discrepancies and errors, making it difficult to count and identify unregistered land plots.

Besides, most people have not yet accurately identified the land plot that has not been registered for the first time, or issued a land certificate of their family on the cadastral map in digital and paper form.

Notably, currently, there are many cases of land users in communes arbitrarily changing the purpose, dividing plots, and transferring land use rights without going through the local authorities; many plots of land are in dispute; arbitrarily leveling and dumping land... causing difficulties in requesting registration and declaration at the commune level.

To overcome these limitations, the district has deployed working groups including civil servants and public employees of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, the Branch of the Land Registration Office, the Provincial Land Registration Office, and commune-level land officials to focus on rotating implementation in the communes on weekends.

With such implementation, each weekend in each commune, there will be about 20 people with solid expertise and skills who will directly work with land users to prepare land registration files at the commune level. The implementation will rotate across 20 commune-level units.

Since then, the number of completed records has increased significantly, and at the same time, commune-level land officials participating in support in other communes will also learn and gain experience to implement in the communes they are in charge of.

In just 4 days of implementation in Chien Thang and Van Thuy communes in June, the number of completed records at the commune level was 1,502 records, equal to 1/3 of the total number of records at the commune level completed in the first 5 months of the year.

Working groups in Chi Lang district guide people through the first land registration procedures.

With the goal of achieving land registration results of 50% or more of unregistered plots by the end of 2023, the district is currently continuing to concentrate resources to complete land registration and issue first-time land use right certificates. Continue to check and review land use right certificates issued in violation of regulations after cadastral surveying to carry out revocation, surveying, and re-issuance.

In addition, review administrative procedures for granting land use certificates in the direction of simplifying procedures. Strengthen inspection and handling of violations of land use cases without registration and violations of land law. Strengthen training and dissemination of knowledge of land law, improve professional qualifications for staff and civil servants performing land management in the district.

“
In the first 6 months of the year, Chi Lang district has directed departments, communes and towns to develop a roadmap to handle land violations that have existed since previous years; strictly handle newly arising violations of encroachment, occupation, and unauthorized conversion of land use purposes... Thereby, 15 decisions on administrative sanctions for land violations were issued with a total fine of over 260 million VND. Remedial measures were applied, including forcing the return of illegal profits, forcing land registration, and forcing the restoration of the original state of the land before the violation.
