How to Fill in the Purpose of Prefabricated Houses

The filling in of the purpose of prefabricated houses should be determined based on the nature of land use rights and actual functions. The specific classifications and filling norms are as follows:

I. Main Classifications and Filling Norms

1. Residential Category
   If the prefabricated house is used for residential purposes (such as ordinary residences, apartments, villas, etc.), the purpose should be directly filled in as 'Residential'. It should be noted that houses for residential purposes must comply with residential building codes, and the nature of land use rights should be residential land. If the house is actually used for residence but the land nature is commercial or industrial, the land use purpose must be legally changed before filling it in.

2. Commercial Category
   If the house is located on commercial land and used for business activities (such as shops, office buildings, hotels, etc.), the purpose should be filled in as 'Commercial'. Such purposes must meet commercial building fire safety, security, and other standards, and the land use right term is usually 40-50 years (depending on regional regulations). If the house is only partially used for commercial purposes (such as a shop on the ground floor and a residence on the upper floors), it should be filled in by actual function on a floor-by-floor basis or 'Other Mixed Purposes' should be selected with remarks for explanation.

3. Office Category
   Houses specifically designed for office purposes (such as office buildings, corporate headquarters buildings) should have their purpose filled in as 'Office'. Such purposes must meet office building ventilation, lighting, and other requirements, and the land nature is usually commercial service land or comprehensive land. If the house has both office and residential functions (such as SOHO apartments), it should be filled in according to the main purpose registered in the property certificate.

4. Industrial and Warehousing Category
   Houses used for production, processing (such as factory buildings) or material storage (such as warehouses) should have their purpose filled in as 'Industrial' or 'Warehousing'. Such purposes must meet industrial building load-bearing, environmental protection, and other standards, and the land nature is usually industrial land. If the house has both production and warehousing functions, priority should be given to filling in 'Industrial' with remarks for explanation.

5. Special Purpose Category
   Houses with specific functions (such as schools, hospitals, libraries, etc.) should have their purpose filled in as the corresponding category, such as 'Education', 'Medical', 'Culture'. Such purposes must comply with special building codes, and the land nature must match the function (such as educational land, medical land, etc.).

6. Other Mixed Purpose Category
   If the purpose of the house does not fall into the above categories (such as agricultural guard houses, temporary exhibition halls, etc.), the purpose should be filled in as 'Other', with detailed explanations of the actual function, usage period, and other information in the remarks.

II. Core Principles for Filling

1. Priority of Actual Purpose: The filled-in purpose must be consistent with the actual function of the house to avoid false filling leading to property rights disputes or legal risks.
2. Compliance Reference: Reference can be made to regulations such as the 'Classification of Land Use Status' and the 'Standards for Classification and Planning of Urban Land Use for Construction' to ensure that the purpose classification complies with national standards.
3. Consistency with Property Certificate: The filled-in purpose should be completely consistent with the information registered in the house property certificate and land planning documents to avoid affecting transactions or mortgages due to inconsistent information.

III. Precautions

1. Restrictions on Purpose Changes: The purpose of a house generally cannot be changed arbitrarily (such as changing a residence to an office). Approval from planning, fire protection, and other departments is required, and the difference in land transfer fees must be paid.
2. Consultation with Professional Institutions: If there are doubts about filling in the purpose (such as ambiguous land nature, composite functions, etc.), it is recommended to consult local real estate management departments or lawyers to ensure legal and compliant filling.
