Pay the official maintenance fee first and then the deed tax. Only after paying the bill can you apply for the real estate license, because the maintenance fund should be paid in the bank and the deed tax should be paid in the trading center of the real estate bureau. After paying the maintenance fund, you can go to the trading center to get rid of all the processes at once. If you pay the deed tax first, you have to go to the premises bureau to pay the deed tax first, then go to the bank to pay the deed tax, and then go to the premises bureau to go through other formalities, which is more troublesome.
