It must be affirmed that the land price in the Land Law 2013 is one of the outstanding issues.

However, with the characteristics of the nature and rules of the market, land prices often change. Land prices announced by state agencies tend to be like, increasing or decreasing compared to the market.

The second is the areas identified as wards or residential areas. In addition to those criteria, there are also land use purposes and land locations.

The third is the basis for collecting transactions on land prices, fees, taxes and civil contracts.
