Prescription of action for property fees

Legal analysis: 1. The general statute of limitations applies to property fees. The limitation period of action is 3 years, counting from the day when the obligee knows or should know that the right has been damaged and the debtor knows it. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail. However, the people's court shall not protect the rights that have been damaged for more than 20 years. Under special circumstances, the people's court may decide to extend the time according to the application of the obligee. 2. When the limitation period expires, the obligee loses the right to win the case, not the substantive right. When the limitation of action expires, you can still bring a lawsuit to the court. Because whether the statute of limitations has expired can only be found out through trial.

Legal basis: Article 188 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) requests the people's court to protect civil rights, and the limitation of action is three years. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail. The limitation period of action shall be counted from the date when the creditor knows or should know that the right is damaged and the debtor knows it. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail. However, if the people's court fails to protect the rights for more than 20 years from the date when the rights are damaged due to special circumstances, the people's court may decide to extend the time limit upon the application of the obligee.
