Do you have to pay the property fee for the vacant room?

According to the inquiry of China Travel Service. Empty houses need to pay property fees. Property fees need to be collected when the developer hands over the house to the buyer. Property fees that have been completed but not paid to the buyer shall be paid by the construction unit. Although the empty house is unoccupied, the property has been in charge and property fees have to be charged.
