Behind the increase in the number of people building houses in rural areas, it reflects people's yearning for rural life and concern for the quality of life of their families. Especially in the context of rising housing prices in cities, many people choose to return to the countryside to build their own houses and enjoy a spacious and comfortable living environment. However, this method of self-built houses is not completely legal, and the regulations for self-built houses in rural areas are relatively strict and related to the homestead system.
In the current legal provisions, there is no explicit policy to allow urban residents to build their own houses in rural areas. According to the relevant regulations, homestead is the welfare policy of village collective members, and only villagers in the village can apply for homestead to build houses, and it is generally not allowed to build houses in other places. Therefore, it is illegal for urban residents to build houses in rural areas in other places, and they cannot obtain legal ownership certificates for houses.
In addition, in the process of building a house in a rural area, some people may consider renting a farmhouse and building a farmhouse in other places legally. However, under the current regulations, it is also forbidden for urban residents to buy homesteads to build farmhouses and private villas, so in this case, it is still illegal to build houses in other places.
For rural self-built houses that have completed the registration of ownership, if they are newly built, they need to provide materials such as rural planning permits, rural homestead approval letters, and application forms for completion and acceptance of rural self-built houses, and then apply to the Bureau of Natural Resources (Real Estate Registration Bureau) for real estate registration procedures, and finally obtain real estate ownership certificates. However, it should be noted that this situation applies to rural self-built houses that have completed the registration of title confirmation, not to the farmhouses built before the registration of title confirmation.
In short, whether in the village or in another place, self-built houses in rural areas need to comply with relevant local regulations, and must not be built without approval. Houses that violate the rules on self-built houses in rural areas are likely to be demolished. Therefore, when deciding to build your own house, it is recommended that you fully understand and comply with the relevant regulations to ensure legality and stability.
From my point of view, the increase in the number of people building houses in rural areas is the result of a combination of factors. First, housing prices** have led urban dwellers to seek more affordable housing options, while rural self-built housing has become a relatively suitable option. Secondly, the advantages of rural life, including livable environment and family care, attract more and more people to return to the countryside to build houses. In addition, the reform of the rural homestead system has also provided some convenience and support for self-built houses.
However, it should be noted that self-built houses in rural areas are still subject to certain restrictions and regulations. Especially in the context of the reform of the homestead system, the registration of ownership confirmation has become an important part of the self-built houses in rural areas, and the real estate ownership certificate can only be obtained after the completion of the registration of the confirmation of ownership. Therefore, when building a house by yourself, you must follow the relevant regulations and not build a house illegally, otherwise you may face the risk of being demolished.
At the policy level, I believe that the policy of self-built houses in rural areas can be further optimized to provide more opportunities and convenience for urban residents to build houses in rural areas. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the management and supervision of self-built houses in rural areas to ensure the legitimacy and quality of houses and further promote the development and construction of rural areas. For individuals, when choosing a self-built house, they should fully understand the relevant policies and regulations, and build a first-class house in accordance with laws and regulations, so as to create a comfortable and stable living environment for themselves and their families.
