Is the property fee paid once a month or once a year?

Whether the property fee is paid in January or once a year should be determined according to the property service contract. How and when to pay the property fee is specifically agreed by the owners' committee and the property management company through consultation. When signing a property service contract, both parties may agree to pay the property fee on an annual or monthly basis. Residential property fees can be paid once a year or once a month.

If when buying a house, the owner signed a contract with the property management company and agreed to pay the property management fee within one year, then in this case, it must be paid within one year.

However, in real life, it is more common not to sign such contracts. The property company's initiative to pay the property fee for one year is only an invitation, and the owner can refuse and negotiate with the property company instead. Both parties can conclude a new contract and reschedule the payment. Usually, according to the property management regulations and the contract or agreement signed by the three parties, the payment of property fees is calculated from the date of delivery, which has a legal basis and is reasonable. You have to pay for living or not. If you don't live, the property fee and utility fee will be paid at 70%. According to the property management regulations. The garbage fee is paid in full because the garbage fee is not collected by the property company, but by the sanitation department. No matter who can't live, they are only counted by households. In practice, the average owner will choose to pay the property fee once a quarter, half a year or a year, because the monthly property fee is usually not very high, and it is more troublesome to pay it every month.
