For buyers and sellers: Budget $1,144/mo as the middle of the market in Lauderdale By The Sea, or about $0.98 per square foot per month; a unit quoting well under $740 deserves a question about what the fee leaves out, and one quoting over $1,540 deserves a look at what it covers (building insurance is included in the fee on 70.7% of Lauderdale By The Sea listings).
The story for media: "The median condominium listed for sale in Lauderdale By The Sea carries a monthly association fee of $1,144, 39% above the five-county South Florida median of $822, according to PBP Real Estate's daily analysis of BeachesMLS listing data as of September 7, 2026."
Sparklines show the daily reading since 2026-09-06, up to the trailing 90 days. Every fee is the monthly equivalent of what the listing office entered; quarterly and annual fees are divided accordingly and master plus sub-association layers are summed. The top and bottom 1% per city (2 listings today) are trimmed as likely data-entry errors.
The association fee is the second number every condominium buyer asks about and the one sellers least like to explain. This page reads it every morning for Lauderdale By The Sea: what the typical listing asks, how the fees spread, how building age and price move them, what the fee covers, and how often the remarks warn of a special assessment or a mandatory membership on top.

Fees rise with price but not in proportion. The share-of-price column is the carrying cost a buyer pays the association each year relative to the asking price, and it is the fairest way to compare a $200,000 unit with a $2 million one.
What does the fee cover in Lauderdale By The Sea? Trash on 86.7% of listings, building insurance on 70.7%

Two fees of $1,144 are not the same fee if one includes building insurance, water and a reserve contribution and the other does not. Compare coverage first, dollars second. Where the MLS record leaves the field blank the listing is simply not counted here.
What sits on top of the fee in Lauderdale By The Sea? Special assessments, memberships and leases
Recurring fees are only part of the cost of ownership. The items below are never folded into the fee figures above. They are counted from the public listing remarks (agent-written, unverified) and from the MLS land-lease field, so read them as how often the subject comes up, not as a verified fact about any building.

Questions people actually ask about Lauderdale By The Sea condo fees
What is the average condo fee in Lauderdale By The Sea?
We report the median, not the average, because one high-fee tower would drag an average. As of September 7, 2026, the median monthly-equivalent association fee across 76 Lauderdale By The Sea condominiums for sale is $1,144. The middle half runs $740 to $1,540; 3.9% ask under $500 and 57.9% ask $1,000 or more. Per square foot the median is $0.98 a month.
Why are some Lauderdale By The Sea condo fees quoted quarterly?
Associations bill on different cycles. In Lauderdale By The Sea today 72.4% of listings quote a monthly fee and 27.6% quote quarterly. Every figure on this page is converted to a monthly equivalent (a $2,400 quarterly fee counts as $800 a month) so listings can be compared. Fees with no billing cycle stated in the MLS are left out rather than guessed.
Do Lauderdale By The Sea condos have more than one association fee?
Some do. In communities with a master association plus a building or enclave association (Century Village is the classic South Florida example), the MLS carries two fee fields. 1.3% of Lauderdale By The Sea listings show a second layer; where present, the median master-association portion is $1,538 a month and the combined total $2,737. This page always sums the layers into the total and reports the second layer separately.
Are special assessments included in these Lauderdale By The Sea fee figures?
No, and they should never be. A special assessment is a one-time or time-limited charge on top of the regular fee, usually for structural work, insurance or reserves. This page reports it separately: 19.7% of Lauderdale By The Sea listings mention a special assessment in their public remarks; 1.3% describe one as pending or being carried by the buyer, and 18.4% state there is none or the seller has paid it. Remarks are agent-written and not verified, so treat these as signals to ask about, not a fact about any one building.
What does a Lauderdale By The Sea condo fee usually cover?
Of Lauderdale By The Sea listings that state what the fee includes (75), the most common items are trash (86.7%), water (84%), sewer (81.3%), common areas (80%), pool (78.7%), grounds (74.7%). Building insurance is listed as included on 70.7% and a reserve fund contribution on 56%. Utilities, insurance and reserves are the items that most change what a fee is worth, so compare coverage before comparing dollars.
Why do newer Lauderdale By The Sea condos ask higher fees than older ones?
Lauderdale By The Sea does not have enough listings in both age groups today for a like-for-like comparison (needs 10 or more in each). Region-wide, condos built since 2005 ask a median $1,383 a month against $700 for buildings from before 1995.
Which Lauderdale By The Sea developments have the lowest and highest condo fees?
Too few Lauderdale By The Sea developments have 10 or more condominiums for sale today to rank them; the table on this page shows what is available, with small rows marked anecdotal.
How often is the Lauderdale By The Sea condo fee index updated?
Every morning. The figures come from PBP Real Estate's own MLS data feed and are rebuilt daily at about 5:00 AM Eastern; this version is as of September 7, 2026. Fees are as entered by each listing office, converted to a monthly equivalent, and trimmed of the top and bottom 1% per city to remove data-entry errors (2 of 78 listings today). This is a market read, not a statement about any one building's fee.

Price my condo correctlyMethod: medians and percentiles over active condominium listings in Lauderdale By The Sea 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 (quarterly divided by three, semi-annual by six, annual by twelve); listings with a fee but no stated frequency are excluded (0 today). Where the MLS carries a second association fee, the two layers are summed and the second layer is reported separately. Per city, listings below the 1st or above the 99th percentile of monthly fee are trimmed as likely data-entry errors (2 today). Special assessment, membership, capital contribution, milestone and reserve shares are keyword classifications of agent-written public remarks and are not verified; the land-lease share also uses the MLS land-lease field. Development names are normalized from free-text subdivision fields. Condominiums only; townhouses and villas are excluded. Nothing here is an opinion of value about any property or a statement about any specific association's finances.
