Source: PBP Real Estate analysis of BeachesMLS listings permitted for internet display. Fee measures use the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and geography-specific percentile trimming; recorded monthly equivalents, not verified payments. As of Oct 18, 2026. Retained sample n=25298, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=24958; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=25296.

For buyers and sellers: Use the sample as a comparison, not a unit-specific budget. Ask for the association budget, current fees, coverage and special assessments; a listing does not verify them.

Monthly fees matter when comparing the cost of owning a condo. These 69 published city samples show recorded fees, their spread, construction-year comparisons and coverage fields. They are not verified payments or a census of owners. Fee statistics describe the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, not every property for sale. Monthly-equivalent fees below the 1st or above the 99th percentile are excluded within each geographic sample. City, county and five-county samples are trimmed separately; the region is not a median of city medians. Publication requires 30 valid-fee listings before trimming; retained n is stated separately. A city with 30–39 valid-fee listings is a small sample. Secondary measures use further qualifying fields and their own denominators.

How do fees compare by recorded construction year?

Which denominators and date apply?

Fee statistics describe the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, not every property for sale. Monthly-equivalent fees below the 1st or above the 99th percentile are excluded within each geographic sample. City, county and five-county samples are trimmed separately; the region is not a median of city medians. Publication requires 30 valid-fee listings before trimming; retained n is stated separately. A city with 30–39 valid-fee listings is a small sample. Secondary measures use further qualifying fields and their own denominators. Retained sample n=25298, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=24958; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=25296. Data snapshot: October 18, 2026; publication and correction dates are separate. 504 of 25802 valid fees were excluded by percentile boundaries; they are not verified errors.

How these figures are built

Method: medians and percentiles over active condominium listings in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties permitted for internet display in PBP Real Estate's BeachesMLS data feed, snapshotted daily. Fees are as entered by each listing office and converted to a monthly equivalent by the stated billing frequency; listings with a fee but no stated frequency are excluded. Where the MLS carries a second association fee, the two layers are summed and the second layer is reported separately.

Statistical date, retrieval and publication are distinct. Quarterly fees are divided by three, semiannual by six and annual by twelve. Usable association layers are summed; missing frequencies are not guessed. Coverage uses records with a coverage field; keyword shares use the full retained sample. Neither verifies an association's documents.

Monthly-equivalent fees below the 1st or above the 99th percentile are excluded within each geographic sample.

A city with 30–39 valid-fee listings is a small sample. Secondary measures use further qualifying fields and their own denominators. Segments follow recorded tax legal description and MLS subtype. A legal description recording a condominium takes priority, including townhouse, villa or single-family forms. Condominium and Stock Cooperative subtypes remain condominiums when the legal is silent or describes a parent parcel, including new-build units. Remaining Townhouse and Villa listings are grouped in the HOA Fee Index; houses are remaining SingleFamilyResidence listings. These are analytical field classifications, not an independent determination of legal regime. MLS City labels can span counties and are not verified municipal boundaries. The fees displayed are only as accurate as the brokerage that provided them in its individual listings through the multiple listing service. Information is deemed to be reliable but not guaranteed.
