As of September 7, 2026, the median monthly association fee across the 116 Stuart condominiums for sale is $650; half of them fall between $522 and $822 a month, and 16.4% ask $1,000 or more. Stuart ranks 46 of 69 South Florida cities by median fee.

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.

Stuart sits 21% below the South Florida median: $650 against $822 a month across 69 cities

For buyers and sellers: Budget $650/mo as the middle of the market in Stuart, or about $0.62 per square foot per month; a unit quoting well under $522 deserves a question about what the fee leaves out, and one quoting over $822 deserves a look at what it covers (building insurance is included in the fee on 50% of Stuart listings).

The story for media: "The median condominium listed for sale in Stuart carries a monthly association fee of $650, 21% below 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 (3 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 Stuart: 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.

Share of active Stuart condominium listings by monthly-equivalent association fee band; 116 listings after the 1% trim. Median $650.

Read the shape, not only the middle. A wide spread means Stuart has more than one condo market: 19.8% of listings ask under $500 a month and 16.4% ask $1,000 or more. The median unit (1,113 sq ft, asking $225K) pays about 3.58% of its asking price a year in fees.

Stuart condos built since 2005 ask 27% more in fees than those built before 1995: $820 versus $646 a month

Median monthly-equivalent fee by decade the building was completed, Stuart condominiums for sale. Decades with fewer than 10 listings are gray and not read.

Newer buildings carry more amenities, staff and insured value, so their fees run higher; older ones carry the milestone inspection and structural reserve requirements that Florida applies to buildings 30 years and older. In Stuart, 0.9% of listings mention an inspection, recertification or structural work in their remarks, and 0% describe reserves as funded. Median year built among Stuart condos for sale: 1980.

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 Stuart? Common areas on 82.5% of listings, building insurance on 50%

Share of Stuart condominium listings whose MLS record states the fee includes each item; 114 listings state at least one item.

Two fees of $650 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 Stuart? 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.

What to do with this

Buyers

Use $650 a month, or $0.62 per square foot, as the Stuart midpoint; ask why a unit sits far outside $522 to $822.
Ask for three documents before you fall in love: the current budget, the reserve study, and the latest milestone or structural report. 6.9% of Stuart listings bring up a special assessment on their own.
If the community has a master association, confirm both layers are in the quoted fee; 1.7% of Stuart listings show two.

Sellers

State the fee, its billing cycle and what it covers in the listing; buyers compare against this page and against 116 other Stuart listings.
If an assessment is paid or none is pending, say so plainly; 4.3% of your competition already does.
A fee above $822 is not a defect if the coverage justifies it; list the coverage.

Media writers

Questions people actually ask about Stuart condo fees

What is the average condo fee in Stuart?

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 116 Stuart condominiums for sale is $650. The middle half runs $522 to $822; 19.8% ask under $500 and 16.4% ask $1,000 or more. Per square foot the median is $0.62 a month.

Why are some Stuart condo fees quoted quarterly?

Associations bill on different cycles. In Stuart today 96.6% of listings quote a monthly fee and 3.4% 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 Stuart 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. 1.7% of Stuart listings show a second layer; where present, the median master-association portion is $648 a month and the combined total $1,677. This page always sums the layers into the total and reports the second layer separately.

Are special assessments included in these Stuart 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: 6.9% of Stuart listings mention a special assessment in their public remarks; 1.7% describe one as pending or being carried by the buyer, and 4.3% 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 Stuart condo fee usually cover?

Of Stuart listings that state what the fee includes (114), the most common items are common areas (82.5%), cable tv (78.9%), grounds (71.9%), trash (64.9%), building insurance (50%), sewer (47.4%). Building insurance is listed as included on 50% and a reserve fund contribution on 30.7%. Utilities, insurance and reserves are the items that most change what a fee is worth, so compare coverage before comparing dollars.

Why do newer Stuart condos ask higher fees than older ones?

In Stuart today, condos built since 2005 ask a median $820 a month against $646 for buildings from before 1995. Newer towers usually carry more amenities, staff and insured value per unit. Older buildings are not automatically cheaper to own: Florida's milestone inspection and structural reserve rules apply to buildings 30 years and older, and 0.9% of Stuart listings mention an inspection or recertification in their remarks. Ask for the reserve study and the last milestone report either way.

Which Stuart developments have the lowest and highest condo fees?

Too few Stuart 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 Stuart 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 (3 of 119 listings today). This is a market read, not a statement about any one building's fee.

Method: medians and percentiles over active condominium listings in Stuart 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 (3 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. 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.
