People's Committee of Lâm Đồng Province

A Central Highlands province centred on the temperate plateau city of Đà Lạt; population about 1.4 million (2024). Its highland climate supports coffee, tea, flowers and temperate vegetables alongside major tourism. In the 2025 merger it expanded greatly by absorbing the former Đắk Nông and Bình Thuận provinces, becoming Vietnam's largest province by area.

Decision No. 12/2020/QĐ-UBND of the People's Committee of Bình Thuận Province amends and supplements several articles of the Regulation issued together with Decision No. 14/2017/QĐ-UBND dated 4 May 2017 on the principles and unit prices for compensation for damage to property when the State recovers land for the construction of works in Bình Thuận Province. The Decision is grounded on the 2015 Law on Organization of Local Government, the 2015 Law on Promulgation of Legal Normative Documents, the 2014 Law on Construction, Decree No. 47/2014/NĐ-CP on compensation, support and resettlement upon State land recovery, and Circular No. 37/2014/TT-BTNMT of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, following Joint Submission No. 1394/TTrLS of 31 December 2019 by the Directors of the Departments of Finance, Construction, and Agriculture and Rural Development. Article 1 amends point b, clause 4, Article 2: for acacia and eucalyptus, the standard price applies to trees five years old or more, classified as class A; trees planted three to under five years receive 80 percent of class-A value, and trees planted two to under three years receive 50 percent. It also revises point c, clause 4, Article 2 on planting density: for trees on the land for four years or less at the time of recovery, compensation follows the actual count but may not exceed maximum standard densities, including acacia and eucalyptus (pure) 3,333 trees per hectare; casuarina 3,000; cóc hành 1,100; dầu, sao, căm xe, lim, bình linh and huỳnh đàn 400; xà cừ 625; drought-tolerant neem 1,333 mixed (50:50 ratio) or 1,100 pure; mixed forestry plantings 1,250; forestry mixed with industrial crops 1,250; durian and mangosteen 200; cashew 300; date palm 500; rubber 555; coconut, lemon, rambutan, pomelo, jackfruit, mango and longan 600; trôm and custard apple 800; jujube and guava 1,000; dragon fruit 1,110 posts; orange and mandarin 1,200; banana and grape 2,000; papaya 2,500; tobacco 20,000; đinh lăng 40,000; and kapok nurseries 20,000. Trees planted more than four years are compensated by actual count without the density cap. Amended clause 5, Article 2 directs district-level People's Committees, for assets absent from Appendices 1 and 2 or for important projects of a particular nature, to report to the specialised agencies, which preside and coordinate with the Department of Finance to appraise against market prices. Appendices 1 and 2 are replaced. The Decision takes effect from 10 April 2020 and repeals Decision No. 07/2019/QĐ-UBND of 21 February 2019 and parts of the 2017 Regulation. Transitional provisions: projects without approved compensation plans apply the new rules; projects already disbursing compensation continue under the former unit prices; projects approved but unpaid, or lacking resettlement land arrangements due to State fault, are adjusted to this Decision.
