After paying the property fee, do I have to pay the utilities?

According to China's "Measures for the Administration of Property Service Charges", property service charges include two parts: property service charges and shared facilities. So after paying the property fee, you have to pay the public utility fee.

Specifically, the property service fee is the fee charged by the property service enterprise for providing services to the owners, including basic services such as security, cleaning and greening, as well as services such as maintaining public facilities and equipment in the community. Apportionment of water and electricity charges is the water and electricity charges in the public areas of the community, which are shared by the owners according to the housing area or usage.

To sum up:

If you pay the property fee, you also need to pay the utility fee, because these two parts of the fee are part of the property service fee.
