At present, the state has not clearly stipulated that rural construction should be stopped and self-built houses should be built. Since the state has no regulations in this regard, villagers can still build their own houses through normal procedures.

It should be said that there are three types of people who can't build or transform their own houses: people with urban hukou. First of all, building your own house in rural areas is the welfare given by the state to rural people. People with urban hukou enjoy many good benefits and treatments in urban infrastructure. In order to treat people equally, the state does not allow urban residents to build houses privately, nor does it allow rural areas to rebuild new houses. If all urban residents can buy land and build houses in the countryside. Then many enterprises and government departments across the country will be like this; Children with urban household registration can inherit, but they can't turn over old houses in rural areas. The homestead belongs to the villagers' collective and can only be allocated to the villagers with registered permanent residence in the village. Children with urban hukou can only inherit their parents' property, not the right to use the homestead. If you are found to decorate the house without authorization, you will be asked to stop or dismantle it immediately and may face serious punishment. The state does this to prevent those people with ulterior motives from pursuing their own interests through this channel. Seize rural land resources and harm the interests of rural people; People who transfer their homestead or voluntarily withdraw from it have the right to build and transform their own houses in rural areas. But only the right to use the homestead, the villagers' houses can only be built on their own homestead. If there is no homestead, you cannot build a house. If someone transfers the homestead for profit, or does not have to voluntarily withdraw from the homestead, then a new house can never be built in the village. Even if they buy this homestead back one day, they can't build a house.
