The district people’s government is responsible for organizing and leading the management of farmhouse land use, planning, construction, usage, adjacent building relations, and construction safety within its jurisdiction. It shall formulate a comprehensive farmhouse management system tailored to local conditions, establish a regular management mechanism, ensure land supply and resource allocation, and fully implement farmhouse construction management responsibilities. Relevant departments of the district shall strengthen supervision and guidance for farmhouse construction and usage management according to their respective duties.
Town people’s governments (subdistrict offices) are specifically responsible for the management of farmhouse land use, planning, construction, and usage within their jurisdictions, including the approval of rural homestead land use, rural construction planning permits, style control, construction quality and safety supervision, completion acceptance, usage process control, verification and reporting of illegal activities, and the investigation and remediation of farmhouse safety hazards. They shall establish a whole-process supervision mechanism covering pre-approval review, on-site inspection, completion acceptance, and usage control, create farmhouse construction management archives with one file per household, and ensure standardized management.
