Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, issued property titles, known as “sổ hồng”, to more than 43,200 homes from the beginning of the year through September 21st.
Task Force 1645 processed 57,149 applications for these certificates for land use rights and property ownership in commercial housing projects. While 43,200 homes received titles, nearly 14,000 applicants still need to pay property transfer fees before completing the process.
The city achieved 84% of its 2026 goal to resolve 68,000 applications, after also issuing titles for 55,303 homes in 2025 and collecting over 3 trillion Vietnamese đồng in transfer fees. However, delays persist because the land management software system, VBDLIS, lacks a finalized operating contract, limiting data management and connectivity.
City officials are currently working to resolve issues for an additional 20 projects encompassing 6,950 homes and are reviewing the legal status of 14 new real estate projects in the former Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu province. Overall, the city has successfully addressed obstacles for 349 projects, allowing 221,611 homes to qualify for titles, though 123,108 homes still await certification.
