Is there a property fee in America?

When buying a house (townhouse) in the city, there will be a community fee (called property fee in China), which is generally between 150 yuan and 350 yuan, depending on the number of public facilities in the community. Community fees usually include fire insurance, and each household does not have to buy it separately. Because houses are connected, if one family catches fire, others will be affected, so their fire risks are shared.

The property fee is mainly for the apartment. Generally, villas have no property and are built and maintained by themselves. The property fee is zero or only one or two hundred yuan a year. Developers need to pay special attention to the situation of building new villas, and property fees may be more expensive. The property cost of an apartment is about $3,000 to $5,000 a year. The older the apartment, the higher the maintenance cost and the more expensive the property fee.

General categories and analysis of American real estate property fees;

There are generally two types of property management fees in the United States, monthly management fees and exclusive fees. Most communities pay monthly fees, and exclusive fees are the extra fees charged by communities to owners for a specific project.

Warm reminder: Generally speaking, high-end communities use more:

1. Monthly management fee: tens to hundreds of yuan per month, depending on the area, service and community. Usually, the larger the living area, the higher the cost. Old houses will also be more expensive than new ones, because everything is old and needs more frequent maintenance. General management fees include water fee, public * * * area cleaning fee, public * * * facility maintenance fee, snow removal fee, etc. But this fee is not included in the monthly payment, so it is another extra fee.

2. Exclusive fees: If the underground pipelines in your residential area are in disrepair for a long time and need a large sum of money to be updated, the usual practice of the residential area is to apply for a loan from the bank to complete the project, and then charge the owner an extra fee to repay the loan. The term is generally 3-5 years, and the fees charged depend on the equipment price.

Legal basis: the property of American apartment is called COMMON-CHARGES, which means public * * * charges, or the owner * * * enjoys the expenses of the apartment community.

According to American law, if you refuse to pay the property fee, the property has the right to auction. After the auction is successful, if you don't move out of the apartment, the police will come to your door.
