Question: How can farmers with household registration but no houses, namely, empty households, obtain compensation for demolition?
After the farmers live in the city, if the registered permanent residence has not been relocated and the registered permanent residence is still in the rural economic organization, there will be no empty registered permanent residence. If the land is idle for a long time, it may be recycled by the village committee. Relevant laws and regulations stipulate that Article 37 of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China prohibits any unit or individual from leaving idle or uncultivated farmland. If the cultivated land occupied for non-agricultural construction that has gone through the examination and approval procedures is not used but can be cultivated and harvested within one year, the collective or individual that originally cultivated the cultivated land should resume cultivation, or the land use unit can organize cultivation for more than one year without starting construction, and should pay idle fees for two consecutive years without use according to the provisions of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government, With the approval of the original approval authority, the people's government at or above the county level shall recover the land use right of the land using unit without compensation. If the land was originally owned by peasant collectives, it shall be handed over to the original rural collective economic organization to resume farming. Idle land within the urban planning area that has obtained the land use right by way of transfer for real estate development shall be handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Urban Real Estate Administration Law of the People's Republic of China. If a unit or individual that has contracted to manage cultivated land abandons the land for two consecutive years, the original contract letting unit shall terminate the contract and take back the contracted cultivated land.
