Decree No. 339/2026/ND-CP: New Administrative Sanctions for Construction and Real Estate Business
*Vietnam’s new construction and real estate penalties: what businesses should know*
Decree 339/2026/ND-CP raises several important fines and specifies offences relating to customer deposits, payments, mortgage disclosures, project transfers and anti-money laundering.
For developers and real estate businesses, key exposures include:
* *VND 800 million–1 billion* for putting ineligible real estate into business.
* *VND 600–800 million* for improperly collecting deposits or sale/lease-purchase payments for future-formed properties.
* *VND 600–800 million* for specified failures to disclose mortgage information.
* *VND 800 million–1 billion* for transferring real estate contracts without meeting the prescribed conditions.
The fine may be only part of the exposure. Depending on the offence, businesses may also face suspension, customer refunds and interest, surrender of unlawful gains, or demolition requirements.
These are organisational fine ranges. Each penalty and additional consequence depends on the specific conduct and statutory conditions.
