Is it illegal for factories to charge parking fees?

There is no violation. The charging subject of land use fee is the owner. Car owners can collect land use fees because vehicles occupy land. Roads within the building division belong to the owner, except those belonging to urban roads. The green space within the building division belongs to the owner, except for urban public green space or express personal green space. Other public places, public facilities and property services within the building division are owned by the owner.

The ownership of residential parking lots is divided into the following situations:

1. If the construction unit sells or donates the whole planned parking lot to the owner in the form of parking spaces, each parking space shall be owned by the owner who bought or received the gift, and the public parts in the parking lot, such as the driveway, shall be owned by all the owners who own the parking spaces.

2. If the construction unit rents the parking space of the parking lot to the owner, the ownership of the parking lot belongs to the construction unit, and the right to use the parking space belongs to the owner. The fee paid by the owner is the parking space use fee, and the fee standard is specifically agreed by the owner and the construction unit in the contract.

3. If the construction unit allocates the construction cost of the parking lot to all owners when selling the house, that is, if the house price paid by the owners actually includes the allocation cost of the parking lot, the ownership of the parking lot belongs to all owners. The use and charging standards of parking lots shall be agreed by the owners' congress in the management regulations, but priority shall be given to meeting the parking needs of owners. The income of the parking lot belongs to all owners, mainly used for the maintenance of the parking lot, and can also be used according to the decision of the owners' meeting.
