1. Rural housing construction should adhere to the principle of "favorable production and convenient life". There are two ways of layout: one is vertical households, which are suitable for farmers engaged in agricultural production or developing courtyard economy; The other is the horizontal household, which is suitable for farmers who are partially separated from agricultural production. 2. The building height should be between 2.6 meters and 3 meters, and the maximum height should not exceed 3.3 meters. 3. Different provinces have different standards for housing area. Every household in hilly areas is less than 120 square meters, and every household in plain areas or suburbs is less than 80 square meters. 4. The number of floors in a building is generally no more than three. Due to the differences in customs and economic level between the north and the south, the standard of homestead area will be quite different.

Legal basis:

Article 62 of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, rural villagers can only own one homestead, and the area of the homestead shall not exceed the standards stipulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. In areas where per capita land is small and it is impossible to guarantee one household and one house, the people's government at the county level can take measures to ensure that rural villagers live in houses on the basis of fully respecting the wishes of rural villagers and in accordance with the standards stipulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Rural villagers building houses shall conform to the overall land use planning and township (town) village planning, and shall not occupy permanent basic farmland, and try to use the original homestead and village parents. The overall land use planning and village planning of townships (towns) shall make overall planning and reasonable arrangement of homestead, and improve the living environment and conditions of rural villagers. Rural residential land, approved by the township (town) people's government; Among them, those involving the occupation of agricultural land shall go through the examination and approval procedures in accordance with the provisions of Article 44 of this Law. After the rural villagers sell, rent or donate their houses, they will not be approved if they apply for the homestead again. The state allows rural villagers who have settled in cities to voluntarily withdraw from their homesteads with compensation according to law, and encourages rural collective economic organizations and their members to actively use idle homesteads and idle houses. The competent department of agriculture and rural areas in the State Council is responsible for the reform and management of rural housing sites throughout the country.
