The Hanoi People’s Committee has issued an official directive requiring ministries, local government agencies, and district authorities to reassess and reorganize state-managed properties, including public land and buildings.

The directive, based on Decree No. 03/2025/NĐ-CP, mandates the systematic review, classification, and restructuring of public properties across Hanoi to ensure compliance with legal regulations.

Responsibilities of city agencies and local authorities

Hanoi has assigned specific tasks to various government bodies and districts regarding the management of public land and buildings under their jurisdiction.

For government agencies, departments, and organizations directly managed by the city, including properties outside Hanoi:

They must submit a comprehensive report detailing the status of public land and buildings, along with proposals for reorganization, to the Department of Finance.

The Department of Finance, in coordination with relevant authorities, will inspect and document the current status of these properties.

Based on inspection reports, the department will draft a reorganization plan, which will then be reviewed by the Hanoi People’s Committee for approval.

Reports must be submitted within 10 days of receiving the directive from the Department of Finance. If the plan involves more than 10 properties, the deadline may be extended to 20 days.

Failure to meet these deadlines will result in the Department of Finance independently drafting the reorganization plan and submitting it to city authorities. In such cases, the responsible agencies will be held legally accountable for any discrepancies or non-compliance with regulations.

For properties managed by district and town governments, including land outside Hanoi:

District-level agencies must compile and submit reports on their properties to local government offices.

Local government offices will verify property status and consult relevant agencies if necessary.

Upon review, the finalized reorganization plan will be submitted to the Department of Finance for approval. If a property is transferred to local management, additional details regarding the receiving agency must be included.

For properties owned by ministries, central government agencies, or other provinces within Hanoi’s jurisdiction:

The Hanoi People’s Committee has instructed the Department of Finance, along with the Departments of Construction, Planning and Architecture, and Natural Resources and Environment, to inspect the status of these properties.

Within seven days of receiving the city’s directive, these agencies must submit their recommendations on the reorganization of these properties.

This large-scale restructuring aims to optimize land use, improve public resource management, and ensure greater transparency in state-owned property administration.
