Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Construction has sent a letter to the People’s Committees of communes and wards, as well as to the Con Dao Special Administrative Region, seeking solutions to remove obstacles in issuing permits for single-family housing under local commune-level authorities.
According to the Department of Construction, many individuals and organizations have reported that some ward and commune People’s Committees do not receive or process applications for building permits for single-family houses.

The Department noted that resolving licensing obstacles is intended to improve residents’ living environments and promote sustainable urban development, while also strengthening urban management effectiveness and ensuring alignment between construction needs and the preservation of urban architecture.
