In 2022, rural homesteads cannot be bought or sold, because the homestead is allocated for collective land use rights, and the ownership belongs to the collective, and individuals only have the right to use the homestead. Sometimes, in order to arrange the homestead fairly and reasonably, the village committee of the homestead in a superior position takes the form of spending money, and the proceeds go to the collective. This is the so-called collection of upper fees, which is different from the sale of homesteads.
