The land acquisition process for industrial enterprises primarily involves: preliminary land use review—confirmation of project approval by the Development and Reform Commission—environmental project approval
Initially, it is necessary to determine whether land with allocated quotas is available locally. The local Development and Reform Commission reviews whether the project meets the admission criteria, and the Environmental Protection Department confirms that there are no issues regarding pollution emissions.
If all the above conditions are met and the project complies with the eligibility requirements, the relevant land administration procedures can be initiated. This process involves issuing a public notice and signing a confirmation letter.
During this period, a land use planning permit must be obtained, specifying the intended production use of the land and confirming compliance with relevant planning authorities. Once all requirements are met, the approved land title deed will be issued.
Note: The specific requirements and duration of this process vary slightly by region. Generally, it takes about three months, though it may take longer in some areas. Therefore, business owners planning to invest in new projects this year should prepare early and familiarize themselves with the process timelines in their target regions.
Next, construction of the project on the land begins. Before construction starts, the enterprise must obtain permission from the construction authorities, submit an application for review to obtain a construction permit, and conduct a construction tender. Relevant engineering units must issue an engineering planning permit. Once approved, the enterprise must also submit relevant construction drawings—including geological surveys, seismic structural designs, construction plans, landscaping, civil defense, and other master plans—to the relevant authorities for approval. This process is relatively time-consuming; under smooth conditions, it can take as little as three months, but may take up to six months.Of course, depending on the project, it may take even less time.
Once all procedures are completed, construction can begin.
