Hi @Shaozhi , no problem!
Can you post a link to what you were looking at specifically?
I think most or all of these are done after purchase, for example the land ownership certificate and contract of sale and purchase.
In some cases, I don’t think I did anything like zoning certificate. I assume that’s because I bought an apartment in a community building with new construction, so that was probably already covered by the construction company. In such situations, the buyer is basically buying a fraction of the land itself, and the apartment in full, so there are 2 ownership certificates split out separately that way.
I also wonder how much of this is meant specifically for just plain land, rather than a home purchase. For example, I would guess in most community building home transactions, certificate of zoning is probably not needed and the government probably already has it on record.
In purchasing a new home, the construction company selling the home also helped handle tax payments (i.e. tracking how much to pay, when to pay, what tax it is, etc.), and then afterwards I went to the tax office to apply for the self-use tax rate since I’m living in the home.
If you’re buying a home that is not brand new and not from the originally construction company, I’m not sure if you’ll need to track those requirements more carefully on your own.
I’m also not sure if it’s different for someone who is a NWOHR or not. I would assume not. The construction company that sold me the home just took down all of my various nationality info and I assume they just submitted it all or asked which to submit.
My impression is that buying a new construction home would probably be easier because they can help facilitate the process, although maybe working with a real estate agent could help as well (I didn’t).
Let me know if that helps. I can review any link that you post as well. My main suggestion for the first step would be to double check that the scope of this is not only plain land purchases, but also applies to homes. Ideally, working with an experienced and dedicated seller probably can also help fill in the details for you.
