Will not apply for a building permit but only register
Speaking at the Conference, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong said that the approved planning this time is not only a legal requirement but also creates a solid and important legal basis; is a "compass" for the City to concretize development goals in the new period, maximize potential and advantages, effectively exploit specific mechanisms and policies, creating a strong driving force for breakthrough and sustainable development of the City and the Southern key economic region.
The project defines the vision to 2060 to become Ho Chi Minh City, a global, civilized, modern, and humane city; with a development level on par with major cities in the world ; an economic, financial, and service center of Asia; playing a role as a growth pole, a driving force for the development of the Southern region and the whole country; a place with a high standard of living and quality of life, with distinctive economic and cultural development, attracting international financial institutions and economic groups.
“The project is an important basis for the immediate establishment of zoning and detailed planning projects, promptly serving the management and reception and approval of investment, ensuring that there are no “gaps” and “waiting periods” in urban development management to serve the people, businesses and society. At the same time, this will be the foundation for the establishment of a unified Ho Chi Minh City plan in the near future when Ho Chi Minh City is preparing with the whole country to reorganize the apparatus, administrative units and focus all efforts to immediately start the process of operating and developing a new Ho Chi Minh City merged with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau ”, said Mr. Cuong.
To concretize the goals, at the Conference, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc requested the leaders of departments, branches (especially the Department of Construction), communes and wards to deploy zoning and detailed planning as soon as possible to serve as a basis for management and investment reception. Local management is in accordance with the general planning announced by the City, strictly following the zoning and detailed planning. On the basis of the detailed planning, no construction permits are required but only registration is required.
The city currently has 55,000 lots and grounds that are eligible for exemption from construction permits.
Previously, also at the announcement of 9 planning projects in Thu Duc on June 23, the leader of Thu Duc People's Committee said that based on the approved 1/2,000 scale zoning plans, Thu Duc will urgently establish and cover the detailed planning projects at the scale of 1/500. This will be an important basis for construction management, urban development management and moving towards implementing the policy of exempting construction permits for individual houses. The goal is that by the end of 2025, there will be areas in Thu Duc with approved 1/500 planning and moving towards piloting exemption of construction permits for individual houses from January 1, 2026.
According to the leader of the City Department of Construction, the Government has issued Decree 140/2025/ND-CP regulating the division of authority between two levels of local authorities in the field of state management under the Ministry of Construction. Accordingly, the authority to grant construction permits for individual houses and level 3 and 4 works will be transferred from the People's Committees of districts to the People's Committees of wards and communes.
The Department of Construction is focusing on reviewing the planning, prioritizing the decentralization of construction licensing authority. At the same time, it is coordinating the review and statistics of areas eligible for application. These are areas that have detailed planning at a scale of 1/500 and fully meet the technical and legal conditions as prescribed. At that time, people do not need to apply for a construction permit but only need to notify the commencement of the project.
According to statistics from the Department of Construction, the city currently has 360 areas, with about 55,000 lots and plots of land eligible for exemption from construction permits. The Department of Construction is urgently seeking opinions from localities on the list of areas eligible for exemption from construction permits to synthesize, report and submit to the City People's Committee for consideration and decision.
According to many opinions, the exemption of construction permits will bring many practical benefits to people, businesses and the State. Accordingly, people and businesses can quickly implement projects after completing the design and appraisal process without having to wait for permits, thereby saving time and money. The abolition of construction permits also helps reduce administrative costs and limit negativity.
The abolition of construction permits also means that the administrative apparatus will have to change its urban management method, managing based on planning instead of administrative intervention on each individual file as it is now. However, for this policy to be truly effective, localities need to improve their monitoring and post-auditing capacity. Planning information must be digitized and an open data system must be built so that people and businesses can look it up anytime, anywhere.
