What does it mean to allocate land?

Legal analysis: Allocating land is one of my country’s unique methods of obtaining land for project construction. Governments at all levels with approval authority, in accordance with the relevant provisions of my country's "Land Management Law" and "Urban Real Estate Management Law" and the "Allocation Land Catalog" of the Ministry of Land and Resources Order No. 9 on October 22, 2001, provide land that meets the conditions for allocation of land. The land is supplied free of charge for the construction project (the unit used by the project). The useful life of allocated land is permanent (that is, the expiration date is when the government at the same level that approved the land supply deems it should be taken back in accordance with the law).

Legal basis: Article 43 of the "Land Management Law of the People's Republic of China" Any unit or individual that needs to use land for construction must apply for the use of state-owned land in accordance with the law; however, to establish towns and villages Exceptions are made for enterprises and villagers who have been approved in accordance with the law to use land collectively owned by farmers of the collective economic organization for the construction of residences, or where the construction of public facilities and public welfare undertakings in townships (towns) and villages has been approved in accordance with the law to use land collectively owned by farmers. The state-owned land applied for use in accordance with the law as mentioned in the preceding paragraph includes land owned by the state and land expropriated by the state that was originally collectively owned by farmers.

Article 44 If the land occupied for construction involves the conversion of agricultural land into construction land, the approval procedures for the conversion of agricultural land must be completed. Land occupied by road, pipeline projects and large-scale infrastructure construction projects approved by the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and construction projects approved by the State Council, involving the conversion of agricultural land into construction land, shall be subject to approval by the State Council. Within the scope of construction land in cities, villages, and towns determined by the overall land use plan, if agricultural land is converted into construction land for the purpose of implementing the plan, it shall be approved in batches by the authority that originally approved the overall land use plan according to the annual land use plan. . Within the scope of approved agricultural land conversion, the land for specific construction projects may be approved by the municipal and county people's governments. Land occupied by construction projects other than those specified in paragraph 2 of paragraph 3 of this article, involving the conversion of agricultural land into construction land, shall be subject to approval by the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Article 2 of the "Interim Measures for the Management of Allocated Land Use Rights": Allocated land use rights refer to the state-owned land use rights obtained by land users in accordance with the law through various other means other than the transfer of land use rights.
