Can I call the police when the property comes to collect the property fee?

You can call the police. If the owner fails to pay the property fee on time or refuses to pay it, the property manager can collect it, but you can't use excessive or even illegal collection methods. If the property is within a reasonable range of expropriation, it is not illegal. Owners are obliged to pay property fees. If the owner defaults on the property fee for a long time, the property can go to court for prosecution.
