What is the compensation standard per square meter for rural homestead?

Legal analysis: rural homestead and residence are separated, and villagers only have the right to use homestead and the ownership of houses built by themselves. Therefore, when making compensation for demolition, villagers can only get compensation for house demolition. Standards vary from place to place, and the compensation for demolition is calculated according to the policies announced by local demolition.

According to the provisions of Article 48 of the Land Management Law, fair and reasonable compensation should be given for land expropriation, so as to ensure that the original living standard of landless farmers will not be reduced and their long-term livelihood will be guaranteed.

Land requisition shall pay land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies and compensation fees for rural villagers' houses, other ground attachments and young crops on time and in full according to law, and arrange social security fees for landless farmers.

The standards of land compensation and resettlement subsidies for requisitioning agricultural land shall be determined by the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government through the formulation and publication of comprehensive land prices in the region. The formulation of regional comprehensive land price should comprehensively consider the original land use, land resource conditions, land output value, land location, land supply and demand, population and economic and social development level and other factors, and be adjusted or re-published at least once every three years.

Compensation standards for expropriation of agricultural land, ground attachments and land other than young crops shall be formulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. In accordance with the principle of compensation before relocation and improvement of living conditions, fair and reasonable compensation shall be given to rural villagers' houses, and the wishes of rural villagers shall be respected. Fair and reasonable compensation shall be given by rearranging housing sites, providing resettlement houses or monetary compensation, and compensation shall be paid for relocation and temporary resettlement expenses caused by expropriation, so as to protect rural villagers' right to live and legitimate property rights and interests.

The local people's governments at or above the county level shall incorporate the land-expropriated farmers into the corresponding social security system such as providing for the aged. The social security expenses of landless peasants are mainly used for social insurance payment subsidies such as endowment insurance for eligible landless peasants. Measures for the collection, management and use of social security fees for landless farmers shall be formulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government.
