Harbin will implement a single-certificate real estate registration system in its downtown area starting Aug 29, according to information from the city’s land and resource bureau.

From Aug 29, a certificate of property rights will be issued, which includes initial registration, change of registration and transfer registration.
 
The property rights include collective ownership of land, ownership of buildings, issues relating to forests, rights to development of land, issues relating to homesteads, rights of access and mortgage rights.
 
From Aug 29, relevant departments will stop issuing the following certificates, including state-owned land use certificates, home ownership certificates, and housing construction project preliminary registration certificates.
 
Meanwhile, after the single-certificate system is launched, all property rights certificates issued in the past will remain valid. For those property rights that haven’t been changed, the property rights registration department cannot force rights holders to change their property rights certificates.
