Lam Dong - Through classification, the whole province has 74 commune-level administrative units of type I, 46 units of type II and 4 units of type III.
On April 27, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee said that Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi signed Decision No. 1673/QD-UBND on classifying commune-level administrative units in the area.

Previously, the Provincial Party Committee and People's Committee issued Report No. 203-BC/DU dated April 22, 2026 on the results of project development and classification of commune-level administrative units. This content has been agreed upon in principle by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
The classification work is carried out according to Decree No. 307/2025/ND-CP (effective from November 27, 2025), to assess the scale and level of development of each administrative unit.
Thereby, it serves as a basis for planning socio-economic development policies, organizing the apparatus and arranging suitable cadres and civil servants.
The classification is scored based on criteria such as population size, natural area, socio-economic development conditions and specific factors.
According to regulations, administrative units are classified as type I when they achieve 75 points or more; from 60 to less than 75 points is type II; less than 60 points is type III. In case they achieve 90 points or more (excluding priority points), are large-scale and meet specific criteria, they will be classified as special.
