Local Authorities Granted Land Allocation Powers www.montsame.mn
At its regular session on February 11, 2026, the Government approved the “List of Land Locations, Sizes, and Designated Uses to Be Allocated and Utilized Nationwide in 2026.”
In line with the approved list, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Batbaatar Bat and governors of aimags, soums, the capital city, and districts were instructed to promptly develop and implement the respective annual land management plans. They were also directed to incorporate, as appropriate, requests from citizens, businesses, and organizations for land possession and use—whether for family needs or other purposes specified by law—into the annual land management plans and to resolve such requests without delay.
Prime Minister Zandanshatar Gombojav emphasized that the decision is aimed at creating conditions to ensure that land possession and use requests submitted by citizens and legal entities are resolved swiftly at the local level.
The Agency for Land Administration, Geodesy and Cartography conducted a comprehensive analysis through the unified digital land management system, integrating all levels of land management plans, urban master plans, land classification data, as well as legally established restricted, protected, and limited-use zones. Based on this assessment, 102.079 million hectares of land were identified nationwide as available for allocation and use, with specified locations, sizes, and designated purposes.
With the adoption of the resolution, land-related issues concerning more than 35,000 citizens, businesses, and organizations in the capital and across the 21 aimags can now be addressed. Going forward, the capital city, soums, and districts will be able to update their land management plans within the framework of the approved locations, sizes, and purposes, enabling land allocation and use decisions to be made locally in a timely and streamlined manner.
