Do I have to pay the property fee if I buy a house and don't live there?

Whether or not to pay the property fee for a newly purchased house is handled in two cases:

(1) If the house is not delivered to the owner, the owner does not need to pay the property fee, and the property fee is paid in full by the development and construction unit. (2) The house has been delivered to the owner, but if the owner has not moved in, the owner still needs to pay the property management fee.

The Measures for the Administration of Property Service Charges are laws and regulations formulated to standardize the behavior of property service charges and protect the legitimate rights and interests of owners and property management enterprises. The state encourages property management enterprises to conduct fair price competition and prohibits price fraud. Property fees are generally charged according to the standard of government-guided prices, and are clearly marked.
