Provisions of Property Law on Parking in Residential Areas

There is no property law in China, and the provisions on parking in residential areas are governed by the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC). The ownership of the parking spaces and garages planned for parking cars within the building zoning shall be agreed upon by the parties through the ways of sale, gift or lease. Parking spaces that occupy roads or other venues owned by the owner for parking cars shall be owned by the owner. In the building division, the parking spaces and garages planned for parking cars should first meet the needs of the owners.
