i want to know that if in an association has to two types of flat, one of them service charges is less than rs.3000/- p.m. and second is greater than rs.3000/- p.m., in this case service tax aplicable on all property

Such residential welfare association has to charge the service tax only when the charges exceed rupees three thousand per member per month. In addition to that there will be common area charges also which will be allocated to all the members. So in such case on an average the service charges will be same. But as per my view in case if the service charges for one flat is less than rupees three thousand then the association need not collect service tax.
