Land Law 2024: Diverse forms of compensation for people whose land is recovered

The passed Land Law 2024 not only inherits the regulations in the 2013 Land Law but also amends and supplements new regulations and sticks closer to reality. One of the highlights of the 2024 Land Law that demonstrates this is the provisions on forms of compensation for people whose land is recovered.

The Land Law 2024 has amended and supplemented the principle of land compensation in the direction of diversifying forms of compensation for people whose land is recovered. Specifically, Clause 2, Article 91 of the Land Law 2024 stipulates: “Land compensation is carried out by allocating land with the same use purpose as the recovered land. In case there is no land for compensation, compensation will be made in money according to the specific land price of the recovered land. The People's Committee at the competent level decides at the time of approving the compensation, support and resettlement plan. In case the person whose land is recovered and is compensated in land or housing but needs to be compensated in money, they will be compensated in money according to their registered wishes when making compensation, support and resettlement plans. .

For those whose land is recovered, if there is a need and the locality has conditions for land fund and housing fund, compensation will be considered with land for a different use purpose than the type of land recovered or with housing."

Thus, households and individuals whose land is recovered can receive compensation through the following forms:

Compensation by handing over land with the same use purpose as the recovered land
Compensation in money
Compensation with housing
Compensation with land for different uses than the type of land recovered depends on each specific case. For example, a person whose agricultural land is recovered but wishes to receive compensation in the form of non-agricultural land for use in changing occupations will be allocated land according to his/her wishes but must ensure the conditions regarding the non-agricultural land fund. agriculture still exists.
In the 2013 Land Law, compensation is done in two ways:

Allocate land with the same land use purpose as the recovered land
Compensation in money according to the specific land price of the type of land recovered in case there is no land for compensation
It can be said that when compared with the Land Law 2024, this new Law has important new points, demonstrating progress by diversifying compensation methods and ensuring priority rights. form of compensation for people whose land is recovered, and at the same time partly minimize disputes that may arise later.
