Which department is responsible for the confirmation of rural land?

The confirmation of rural land is the power of the people's governments at or above the township level to confirm the ownership and use right, and the land and resources management department specifically undertakes the confirmation work.

According to Article 16 of China's Land Management Law, people's governments at the township level or above the county level are the subject of rights to confirm ownership and use rights, which means that only people's governments at the township level or above the county level have the right to confirm ownership and use rights.

As a functional department of the people's government, the land management department specifically undertakes the work of confirming the right, and the opinions and suggestions on confirming the right should be reported to the people's government at the same level for decision. This means that the ultimate authority is still the people's government at or above the township level.
