Do farmers have to pay a "deposit" to build homes? These illegal "local practices" need to be cleaned up!

“Both kids are in college.

Tuition alone costs over 10,000 yuan each year.

"But the housing deposit took a significant chunk of money."

Many villagers in Xinfeng County, Jiangxi Province, have reported that

Building a house on one's own residential land

You also need to pay a deposit of 5,000 yuan.

No payment, no construction.


 


 

Over the past nine years

More than 3,800 households in Xinfeng County alone

More than 22 million yuan in security deposits were taken away by the townships.

Under the supervision of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision

The security deposit has now been fully refunded.

Why are these funds being collected, and is it permissible to collect them?

Why do all the townships insist on this "rustic method"?


 


 

The township official responsible for managing farmers' housing construction said

They've been collecting this money since 2017.

The goal is to control cases of overbuilding and illegal construction.

Until the discipline inspection and supervision department pointed out the relevant issues.

They finally understood.

"Local methods" do not comply with regulations.


 


 

A staff member from the Xinfeng County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision introduces…

This practice not only violates relevant laws and regulations,

Moreover, fund collection and management are conducted improperly.

Prone to breeding corruption issues such as interception and misappropriation

Some village officials are falsely using the government's name.

Privately collecting housing construction deposits

There are also village officials who have encroached upon and misappropriated funds.

Last August end

Driven by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision

Relevant functional departments and all townships

Conduct door-to-door inspections and verification

Return the entire security deposit to its rightful place.


 


 

As of now

Jiangxi has already refunded

Farmers' housing construction deposit (security deposit) totals 1.15 billion yuan.

Number of households returning: 113,600


 


 

Clearing out is not the end.

The key is to clearly recognize that

Any "makeshift methods" implemented out of managerial necessity

None of them can cross the legal red line.

Only by upholding administration according to law

Always stand firm on the people's position.

Actively explore legality and compliance

Practical and effective "good methods"

Continuous advancement of talent

Rule of law and standardization in grassroots governance

Truly winning the trust and support of the people
