Ho Chi Minh City sets minimum land plot sizes for subdivision

Ho Chi Minh City's People's Committee has introduced new regulations governing land subdivision, aiming to standardize the process and ensure minimum plot sizes across various urban and peri-urban areas.

Decision 67, signed by the committee, categorizes the city into five zones, each with distinct requirements for land subdivision. These regulations dictate the minimum area for newly formed plots and any remaining land after subdivision, as well as minimum dimensions for width and depth.

In Zone 1, which includes several central districts, the minimum land area for a subdivided plot is set at 36 square meters, with a minimum width and depth of 3 meters. This zone encompasses areas like Saigon, Tan Dinh, and Ben Thanh.

As the zones move outwards, the minimum plot sizes increase. Zone 2 requires a minimum of 50 square meters, Zone 3 requires 60 square meters, Zone 4 requires 80 square meters, and Zone 5 mandates a minimum of 100 square meters. Correspondingly, the minimum width and depth requirements also increase, reaching 5 meters in Zones 4 and 5.

The regulations also address agricultural land, setting minimums of 500 square meters for annual crop and other agricultural land, and 1,000 square meters for perennial crops, aquaculture, and salt production land. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is tasked with overseeing compliance.
