Can I not pay the property fee without paying the house?

You can't. The Civil Code clearly stipulates that the owner should pay the property fee to the property service provider according to the agreement, so the property fee cannot be paid just because the house has not lived for a long time.

Provisions on the reduction and exemption of property fees for long-term non-residential houses:

1. If the house doesn't live, the property fee can't be exempted. Because the house has been handed over, living is the owner's own choice, but the property provides security, health and other services, so it can not be exempted.

2. Some property fees can be reduced or exempted through negotiation. Generally, the annual property fee can be reduced for one month, up to 70%. Because you don't stay, don't use elevator, lighting, garbage disposal and other property services, you can save money for the property.

The State Council's "Regulations on Property Management" does not clearly stipulate how to collect the property management fees after sale and before use by the owners.

Some provinces and cities have their own regulations, depending on which province or city the house is in, and whether there are clear regulations on expropriation and reduction.
