Which department is responsible for the charging standard of property fees?

The charging standard of property fees is managed by the price department of the local government and the housing and construction department.

If the property service charges are subject to government-guided prices, the competent price department of the people's government with pricing power shall, jointly with the real estate administrative department, formulate the corresponding benchmark price and its floating range according to factors such as the standard of property management service level, and publish it regularly. The specific charging standard is agreed by the owner and the property management enterprise in the property service contract according to the specified benchmark price and floating range. The property service charges that are regulated by the market shall be agreed by the owners and the property management enterprises in the property service contract. Property service enterprises charge reasonable property fees to owners according to the use area of the property. Collecting property fees according to the construction area can more objectively reflect the actual use of property users and help to improve fairness. Collecting property fees according to the construction area can stimulate the enthusiasm of owners to improve the efficiency of property use. If the cost is only linked to the number of houses, then the owners may tend to build more houses to share the cost, leading to problems in the planning and management of the community. Collecting property fees by area can encourage owners to plan the use of houses reasonably and improve the whole. Collecting property fees according to the construction area can better match management costs and service quality. Property service enterprises provide corresponding services according to the size of the construction area, and the fees collected can better coordinate the external service and internal management costs, so as to achieve economic rationality.

To sum up, the charging standard of property fees is jointly managed by the price department of the local government and the housing and construction department.
