In addition to paying the deed tax, there is also a relatively large expenditure for the maintenance fund when handing over the house. So what are the policies for the housing maintenance fund in 216? What is the proportion to be paid?

I. Housing Maintenance Fund Policy in 216

On October 17, 215, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Notice on Further Giving Full Play to the Supporting Role of Special Housing Maintenance Funds in the Renovation of Old Residential Areas and Elevators (J.B.F. [215] No.52). Under the framework of current policies and regulations, the Notice explores the establishment of a multi-party fund-raising mechanism for the renovation and renovation of old residential areas and elevators by clarifying the scope and target focus of maintenance funds, refining the emergency use system, and innovating the voting rules of owners.

in view of the problem that old residential quarters and elevators are in urgent need of renovation but are facing insufficient funds, the notice encourages owners to use maintenance funds to renovate old residential quarters that have been in disrepair for a long time, lack of supporting facilities, lack of thermal insulation and energy conservation, and dirty environment, mainly including the housing itself and supporting facilities. Owners can also use maintenance funds to repair and replace old elevators that have been running for more than 15 years, and install elevators and facilities to help the elderly in old houses without elevators. Taking into account the actual situation in different places, the specific standards and contents of the renovation of old residential areas and elevators are authorized by the Notice to be determined according to the actual situation.

to solve the problem that it is difficult for owners to vote "double two-thirds" on the use of maintenance funds, the Notice puts forward four voting methods, one is the entrusted voting method in which owners entrust their voting rights to the owners' committee or owners' representatives to exercise on their behalf, the other is the collective voting method in which funds are used in batches, the third is the default voting method in which the voting rights of owners who did not participate in the voting are counted in favor, and the fourth is the objection that the owners who hold objections below "double one-third" are deemed to have passed the voting.

in order to solve the problem that the maintenance funds cannot be allocated and used in time in an emergency, the Notice clearly stipulates that in case of emergency such as elevator failure, fire-fighting facilities failure, roof external wall leakage, interruption of secondary water supply pump operation, blockage and bursting of drainage facilities, and the danger of falling off the facade of the building, you can directly apply for the use of maintenance funds without the consent of the "two-thirds" vote of the owner. There are no owners' committees, property service enterprises and other communities that apply for maintenance funds. Community residents' committees can apply, and the housing and construction (real estate) departments or neighborhood offices (township people's governments) will organize the repair, and the repair expenses will be charged from the maintenance fund account. The Notice also requires that the audit department must make an audit decision within 3 working days after receiving the application, and the organization maintenance unit should publicize the use of maintenance funds in a prominent position in the community.

in view of the lack of openness and transparency of maintenance fund information, the notice requires all localities to make full use of modern network information technologies such as mobile internet, big data and cloud computing, and build an electronic platform for owners to participate in the decision-making of the same affairs in the community through electronic tools such as computers and mobile phones. The Notice also requires local maintenance fund management departments to establish a maintenance fund announcement system to announce the deposit, expenditure, value-added and balance of annual maintenance funds in the local area on local government websites, newspapers and other media. The owners' committee and the realty service enterprise shall establish a publicity system for maintenance funds, and publicize the basic situation of maintenance funds in this community in a prominent position.

in view of the problems in the practice of maintenance fund management, the circular requires all localities to increase the support of maintenance funds for the renovation of old residential areas and elevators, at the same time, they should be problem-oriented, learn from advanced experience at home and abroad, and actively explore institutional innovations such as introducing commercial insurance into the use of maintenance funds and introducing market competition mechanism into the selection of special bank according to local actual conditions, so as to further play the positive role of maintenance funds in ensuring the normal use of housing.

Second, the proportion of maintenance fund payment

The proportion of housing maintenance fund payment stipulated in the Measures for the Administration of Maintenance Fund for Facilities and Equipment in Residential Areas may be more convenient for everyone to understand how to calculate the housing maintenance fund. After all, the cost of residential installation projects is not easily known to ordinary people. In the Measures for the Administration of Maintenance Funds for Facilities and Equipment in Residential Areas, the payment standard of housing maintenance funds is that buyers pay 2%-3% of the purchase price. The specific deposit ratio is determined by the relevant departments of provinces, municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions, but it is generally within 2 to 3 percentage points.

(The above answer was issued on December 27, 215, and the current relevant housing purchase policy should be based on the actual situation)
