Are all detached houses with under 07 stories exempted from construction permits in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Clause 30, Article 1 of the amended Construction Law 2020, regulations on construction permit exemption include:

...

i) Grade-IV construction works or detached houses with under 07 stories in rural areas without urban planning, function zone construction planning or detailed construction planning on rural residential points approved by competent state agencies; Grade-IV construction works or detached houses in mountainous areas or islands without urban planning or function zone construction planning, except detached houses built in conservation zones or historical and cultural relic zones;

Thus, for detached houses with under 07 stories in rural areas without urban planning, function zone construction planning or detailed construction planning on rural residential points approved by competent state agencies, the construction permits according to the above-mentioned regulations in Vietnam must be exempted. Therefore, not all cases will be exempt from granting this license.

Best Regards!
