When I went to the administrative center to pay the public maintenance fund, the developer had already paid it again. Then can the maintenance fund be refunded again? If yes, what kind of process is needed for refund, and how is it stipulated by law? So, next, I will tell you about whether the maintenance fund can be refunded after payment, hoping to solve your corresponding problems.

1. Can the maintenance fund be refunded after it has been paid?

According to the relevant provisions of the law, the maintenance fund cannot be refunded. If it is a duplicate, it can be returned, but the procedure will be very complicated. The housing maintenance fund is non-refundable, but according to the relevant regulations on the management of housing special maintenance fund in China, the remaining housing special maintenance fund in the housing ledger will be returned to the owner if the house is lost. Housing maintenance funds include public facilities special funds and housing maintenance funds, and the principle that money goes with people is implemented. When we transfer the house, the balance of the maintenance fund account is also transferred to the new property owner.

Second, what is the maintenance fund

The maintenance fund is a certain standard payment paid by the owner for the maintenance of public parts and facilities and equipment in the property area, and its payment standard, payment time and use conditions have certain requirements. The maintenance fund is raised by the owners of the property, who enjoy the ownership of the maintenance fund according to the proportion of payment, but the right to use it belongs to all owners, and individual owners may not withdraw all the maintenance funds from the bank. The special fund for housing public facilities implements the principle of "money goes with the house". When the house is transferred, the remaining funds in the account are also transferred to the new owner of the house.

3. What is the charging standard of the maintenance fund?

When the buyer purchases the house from the developer and handles the property right transfer, the maintenance fund shall be paid to the commercial bank designated by the real estate administrative department of the city where the house is located according to the standard of 2%-3% of the total house price or per square meter 100-200 yuan. The specific collection standard of maintenance funds is determined by the local real estate administrative departments according to local conditions. When selling commercial housing, the purchaser and the selling unit shall sign the relevant maintenance fund payment agreement, and the purchaser shall pay the maintenance fund to the selling unit (developer) according to the proportion of 2-3% of the purchase price. The maintenance fund collected by the developer belongs to all owners and is not included in the residential sales income. Payment standard of special maintenance funds: 90 yuan /m2 for high-rise buildings (including multi-storey buildings with elevators) and 50 yuan /m2 for multi-storey buildings (the standards of housing maintenance funds are linked to the economic level, and the specific collection standards are slightly different); Housing maintenance fund = cost per square meter of construction area × proportion × area. Note: The specific standard of maintenance fund is determined by the local real estate administrative department, so the proportion of maintenance fund varies from region to region. It is recommended that buyers go to the local station or the Housing Authority station for details.

To sum up, according to the relevant provisions of the law, the maintenance fund is generally not refundable. In the case of repeated payment, you need to go through relevant procedures and applications before you can get a refund. Refund procedures should comply with the corresponding management regulations. The above is about whether the maintenance fund can be refunded if it is paid again. If in doubt or doubt, you can consult a lawyer.
