Is the property fee paid from the time you get the real estate license?

Legal basis: Regulations on Property Management

Forty-first owners should pay the property service fee in accordance with the provisions of the property service contract.

For the completed property that has not been sold or handed over to the property buyer, the property service fee shall be paid by the construction unit, and the property buyer shall pay the property service fee in full as agreed in the property service contract from the date of completion and delivery of the property.
