Fee measures use the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and geography-specific percentile trimming; recorded monthly equivalents, not verified payments. As of Oct 12, 2026. Retained sample n=35, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=35; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=35.
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.

What should a buyer or seller do with these numbers?
Buyers
- Use $4,231 a month, or $2.38 per square foot, as the Palm City midpoint; ask why a unit sits far outside $710 to $4,688.
- Ask for three documents before you fall in love: the current budget, the reserve study, and the latest milestone or structural report. 2.9% of Palm City listings bring up a special assessment on their own.
- If the community has a master association, confirm both layers are in the quoted fee; 0% of Palm City listings show two.
Sellers
- State the fee, its billing cycle and what it covers in the listing; buyers compare against this page and against 35 other Palm City listings.
- If an assessment is paid or none is pending, say so plainly; 0% of your competition already does.
- A fee above $4,688 is not a defect if the coverage justifies it; list the coverage.
Media writers
- Angle: Palm City condo fees run 429% above the five-county median ($4,231 vs $800); 65.7% of listings ask $1,000 or more.

How are fee frequencies and association layers handled?

Usable MLS fee layers are summed. 0 of 35 retained listings (0%) 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, 34 listings record at least one coverage item: Common areas: 91.2%; Cable TV: 91.2%; Reserve fund: 79.4%; Security: 76.5%; HVAC: 61.8%; Roof: 55.9%.

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=35, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=35; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=35. Data snapshot: October 12, 2026; publication and correction dates are separate. 2 of 37 valid fees were excluded by percentile boundaries; they are not verified errors.

Statistical date, retrieval and publication are distinct. “Palm City” groups the MLS City field within the five counties. It can span county lines and is not a municipal-boundary verification. The county comparison is calculated separately and can include this city's listings.Active segment counts by recorded county: Martin: 15; St Lucie: 22.
Quarterly fees are divided by three, semiannual by six and annual by twelve; usable association layers are summed. Unusable fee records are excluded rather than guessing frequency. Current-price-band annual ratios use positive asking prices in the band, n shown; the overall annual ratio uses ListPrice ≥$20,000. These denominators are not interchangeable.

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. 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.
