Is the property fee collected one year in advance or one year later?

One year in advance. According to the provisions of the Civil Code, the owner shall pay the property fee in advance to the property company in accordance with the contract. In order to facilitate the preparation and management of property services by property companies. Moreover, collecting the property fee in advance can also avoid the situation that the owner defaults on the property fee in the later period, which is conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the property company. Therefore, the property fee is collected one year in advance.
