LAND INVENTORY: A CRUCIAL STEP FOR EFFECTIVE LAND MANAGEMENT

29-05-2025

In today’s era of economic and social development, land is not just a natural resource - it is a vital national asset. Conducting a land inventory is a key step in the efficient, sustainable management, use and development of land. It’s not only a legal requirement under Vietnam’s Land Law 2024 but also a strategic tool for government agencies, businesses and individuals to assess current land use, support planning, and drive investments.

What is land inventory? How it differs from land statistics

As defined in Clause 29, Article 3 of the 2024 Land Law, land inventory refers to the process organized by the State to investigate, collect and assess land use status at a specific point in time, including changes since the previous inventory. This involves both cadastral records and field surveys.

In contrast, land statistics (Clause 41, Article 3 of the same law) involve only a summary based on cadastral documents, excluding field verification and are conducted annually.

Distinguishing between inventory and statistics ensures compliance with the law and enhances land governance accuracy and efficiency.

Who needs land inventory? It’s not just for government agencies

Who needs land inventory

Many assume land inventory is only the duty of state agencies. In reality, it concerns a wide range of stakeholders:

  • Enterprises: Needing land appraisals for investment planning, land-use conversion, compensation, asset restructuring or financing purposes.

  • Government agencies/project management boards: Managing public land and property.

  • Households and individuals: Clarifying legal rights, boundaries and land value for inheritance, investment or sale.

  • Banks and credit institutions: Appraising land collateral before issuing loans.

For example, in Hanoi, some businesses discovered during land inventory that leased land had been reassigned for different uses but not updated in official records - leading to disputes in value calculation. Thus, land inventory not only "records facts" but also protects legal rights.

2024 land inventory plan: Timeline and scope

According to Plan No. 271/KH-UBND issued on September 18, 2024, the Hanoi People’s Committee will carry out the 2024 land inventory between August 1, 2024 and March 1, 2025.

Key tasks include:

  • Evaluating current land use

  • Identifying land use changes

  • Preparing updated land use maps

Land users must cooperate with relevant authorities and provide all necessary information to ensure a transparent and complete inventory process.

Key indicators for land inventory and statistics

Under Article 58 of the 2024 Land Law, land inventory includes indicators such as:

  • Area by land type (agricultural, non-agricultural, unused land, etc.)

  • Land users (individuals, enterprises, government units)

  • Land management and allocation entities

Correct identification of these indicators gives authorities an accurate overview of land use, serving as a foundation for effective planning and management.

Land inventory implementation time and inventory cycle

According to Circular No. 08/2024/TT-BTNMT, land inventory is conducted every five years. The 2024 land inventory will begin on August 1, 2024 and must be completed by March 1, 2025.

Conducting the inventory within the prescribed timeframe ensures the continuity and accuracy of land data, serving effective management and planning purposes.
