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.

First, the conditions for the use of community maintenance funds:

1, used for major and medium-sized repair and renovation projects of the main structure, public * * * parts and public * * * facilities and equipment after the warranty period expires;

2. The opening of the housing maintenance fund must be approved by the owners who account for more than two-thirds of the total construction area and more than two-thirds of the total number, that is, the so-called "double-two-thirds principle", and then reported to the housing management department for filing and review, and can be extracted and used only after passing. Second, the difference between maintenance fund and property fee:

1. The ownership of payment is different. The maintenance fund shall be paid by the owner in one lump sum before the formal occupancy, and no need to pay it again after the occupancy. This fee is kept by the established owners' committee or the housing authority where the community is located, but the ownership of the use belongs to the owners. It can only be used when the warranty period of the house expires or the house in the community is overhauled. When it is used, all owners need to vote. Property fees are paid monthly or quarterly after the owners move into the community. The money belongs to the property management company, which is a reward for the daily maintenance, repair and rectification services related to residents' lives, such as buildings and their equipment, greening, sanitation, transportation, public security and environment.

2. The use process of expenses is different. The ownership of the maintenance fund belongs to all owners, so if you want to use this fund, you must get the consent of the owners. The specific application process is to apply to the owners' committee, and then notify all owners. If this measure is approved by two-thirds of the owners, the maintenance can only be started with the allocated funds after review and approval. Property fee is the daily maintenance and management of the community. If some minor repairs are needed in the public areas of the community, or if the owners find any damage or problems, they can give feedback to the property management company and register with the property management office. After the property management company confirms the approval, he can use this fee to maintain and repair the community.
