Within the retained sample after exclusions and trimming, each coverage share uses the 1,280 records with at least one coverage item, not all 1,322 retained records. Items can overlap; blank fields do not establish absence.

Which Fort Lauderdale developments are for sale, and what do they ask in fees?

49 Fort Lauderdale development reports go deeper than this table: fee position, twelve months of closed sales, price cuts, unit mix and enclave or tower breakdowns, updated daily. Linked names below open them.

Displayed development groups within the retained city sample after exclusions and trimming, capped at 60. This is not a census of all communities. Names are normalized MLS text and may split or combine spelling variants.

Fewer than 10 is anecdotal; 10–29 requires caution. Flags use retained records in each group. Main fee medians and retained counts remain shown; group fee-per-area, construction-year and asking-price medians are withheld (—) because their separate qualifying counts are unavailable, not because those values are proven wrong.

What should a buyer or seller do with these numbers?

Buyers

  • Use $1,200 a month, or $1.02 per square foot, as the Fort Lauderdale midpoint; ask why a unit sits far outside $769 to $1,943.
  • Ask for three documents before you fall in love: the current budget, the reserve study, and the latest milestone or structural report. 11% of Fort Lauderdale listings bring up a special assessment on their own.
  • If the community has a master association, confirm both layers are in the quoted fee; 1% of Fort Lauderdale listings show two.

Sellers

  • State the fee, its billing cycle and what it covers in the listing; buyers compare against this page and against 1,322 other Fort Lauderdale listings.
  • If an assessment is paid or none is pending, say so plainly; 9.2% of your competition already does.
  • A fee above $1,943 is not a defect if the coverage justifies it; list the coverage.

Media writers

  • Angle: Fort Lauderdale condo fees run 50% above the five-county median ($1,200 vs $800); 61.7% of listings ask $1,000 or more. Post-2005 buildings ask 131% more than pre-1995 ones.

Questions people actually ask about Fort Lauderdale condo fees

What is the median fee in Fort Lauderdale?

As of October 22, 2026, the median monthly-equivalent fee for Fort Lauderdale condominiums is $1,200 in the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming: 1322 retained of 1383 active listings (1349 valid fees before trimming). 25th and 75th percentiles: $769 and $1,943. 61.7% have fees of $1,000 or more; 6.4% are below $500. These are recorded fees, not verified payments.

How are fee frequencies and association layers handled?

Within the retained sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 15.7% have quarterly frequency. Quarterly fees are divided by three, semiannual by six and annual by twelve. Usable MLS fee layers are summed. 13 of 1322 retained listings (1%) have a second layer. Unusable fee records are excluded rather than assigning a missing frequency.

What does the fee cover, and are assessment mentions verified?

Within the retained sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 1280 listings record at least one coverage item: Trash: 80.5%; Water: 79.1%; Common areas: 73.8%; Sewer: 70.4%; Pool: 69.2%; Grounds: 65.6%. Coverage shares use that denominator. Assessment mentions are 146 of 1322 retained listings (11%), classified by keywords; no charges inferred from remarks are added to the fee.

A blank field does not verify absence. Ask the association for current budget, coverage and charges.

How do fees compare by recorded construction year?

In Fort Lauderdale's retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 378 listings recorded as built in 2005 or later have a median monthly fee of $2,158; 800 recorded as built before 1995 have a median of $934. Groups of 10–29 require caution. This does not identify the cause of a difference.

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=1322, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=1308; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=1322.

Data snapshot: October 22, 2026; publication and correction dates are separate. 27 of 1349 valid fees were excluded by percentile boundaries; they are not verified errors.

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. “Fort Lauderdale” groups the MLS City field within the five counties.
