The public maintenance fund does not have to be paid every year, but is collected in one go.

The housing public maintenance fund refers to a one-time collection by the selling unit from the house purchaser according to the house sales contract when selling commercial housing, which is used for future use of parts and components within the property management area.

Reserve funds for maintenance, overhaul, renewal, and transformation of facilities and equipment after the warranty period expires.

And the ownership of the housing company maintenance fund belongs to all owners.

What is the difference between maintenance funds and property charges?

1. The ownership of money is different. Before applying for the real estate certificate, the home buyer needs to pay a one-time payment to the housing public maintenance fund.

The maintenance fund is temporarily deposited with the owners' committee, but if there is no owners' committee, it will be kept by the housing authority.

No matter where it is placed, the money belongs to the owner and the owner has the right to use it.

The property management fee for a house is collected by the property management company on a monthly basis, and the money belongs to the property management company. While enjoying the services of the property management company, the owner is obliged to pay the property management fee on time.

2. Different usage procedures. When owners use the house repair fund, they need to apply to the owners committee and obtain the consent of two-thirds of the owners, and the approval procedures are quite complicated.

To be more specific, the main maintenance fund of a certain building can only be used for a certain building, and the use must be approved by the owners committee or two-thirds of the owners of the building.

Moreover, the use of property fees is determined by the property company. Of course, if the common area of ??the community needs to be repaired on a daily basis, you only need to register with the property management registration office, and the property company personnel will repair it within the specified time.

3. Different scope of use. The scope of application of the house repair fund is generally used for large-scale repairs such as roof waterproofing, elevator overhaul, and exterior walls. It is not allowed to be used for daily maintenance. Generally, a house with qualified quality will not be used for almost 15 to 20 years.

Property fees are generally used for cleaning and sanitation costs, greening maintenance costs, order maintenance costs, daily operation and maintenance costs of property facilities and equipment, etc., which are daily maintenance costs.
