For buyers and sellers: Budget $393/mo as the middle of the Palm Beach Gardens townhouse and villa market, or about $0.25 per square foot per month. An HOA fee well under $350 usually means the owner carries roof, exterior and insurance alone; one over $564 deserves a look at what it covers (insurance is included in the fee on 26% of Palm Beach Gardens listings). A townhouse or villa organized as a condominium is not on this page; it is in the Condo Fee Index.
The story for media: "The median townhouse or villa listed for sale in Palm Beach Gardens carries a monthly homeowners association fee of $393, 31% above the five-county South Florida median of $300, according to PBP Real Estate's daily analysis of BeachesMLS listing data as of September 7, 2026."
Daily tracking of Palm Beach Gardens HOA fees began September 7, 2026; sparklines fill in from the second day and show 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.
Townhouse and villa buyers ask about the HOA fee right after the price, and the answer decides whether the roof, the exterior paint, the lawn and the insurance are the association's problem or theirs. This page reads it every morning for Palm Beach Gardens: what the typical listing asks, how the fees spread, how the community's age and price move them, what the fee covers, and how often the remarks warn of a special assessment or a mandatory club membership on top.

Read the shape, not only the middle. A wide spread means Palm Beach Gardens has more than one townhouse market: 1% of listings ask under $200 a month, typically communities where the owner maintains the exterior, and 31.2% ask $500 or more, typically gated or club communities where the fee carries roofs, insurance and amenities. The median unit (1,596 sq ft, asking $547K) pays about 0.97% of its asking price a year in fees.
Palm Beach Gardens townhouses and villas built since 2005 ask 27% less in HOA fees than those built before 1995: $350 versus $478 a month

Newer master-planned communities carry gates, clubhouses, pools and landscaping contracts, so their fees run higher; older communities carry aging roofs, paving and drainage that either sit in reserves or arrive as assessments. In Palm Beach Gardens, 0% of listings describe reserves as funded and 3.1% mention a special assessment. Median year built among Palm Beach Gardens townhouses and villas for sale: 1989.

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 $300,000 villa with a $1.5 million townhouse.
What does the fee cover in Palm Beach Gardens? Common areas on 88.5% of listings, building insurance on 26%

Two fees of $393 are not the same fee if one includes the roof, exterior maintenance, insurance and a reserve contribution and the other buys lawn service and a gate. Compare coverage first, dollars second. Where the MLS record leaves the field blank the listing is simply not counted here.

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 $393 a month, or $0.25 per square foot, as the Palm Beach Gardens midpoint; ask why a home sits far outside $350 to $564.
- Ask what the fee covers before you compare dollars: roof, exterior, lawn, insurance, gate. Then ask for the current budget and reserve schedule. 3.1% of Palm Beach Gardens listings bring up a special assessment on their own.
- Check the tax legal description: a townhouse organized as a condominium carries condominium rules, insurance and reserve requirements, whatever the listing calls it.
- If the community has a master association, confirm both layers are in the quoted fee; 15.6% of Palm Beach Gardens listings show two.
Sellers
- State the fee, its billing cycle and what it covers in the listing; buyers compare against this page and against 96 other Palm Beach Gardens townhouses and villas.
- If an assessment is paid or none is pending, say so plainly; 3.1% of your competition already does.
- A fee above $564 is not a defect if the coverage justifies it; list the coverage.
Media writers
- Angle: Palm Beach Gardens HOA fees on townhouses and villas run 31% above the five-county median ($393 vs $300); 31.2% of listings ask $500 or more. Post-2005 communities ask 27% less than pre-1995 ones.

Questions people actually ask about Palm Beach Gardens HOA fees
What is the average HOA fee in Palm Beach Gardens?
We report the median, not the average, because a handful of gated golf communities would drag an average upward. As of September 7, 2026, the median monthly-equivalent HOA fee across 96 Palm Beach Gardens townhouses and villas for sale is $393. The middle half runs $350 to $564; 1% ask under $200 and 31.2% ask $500 or more. Per square foot the median is $0.25 a month.
Why are townhouses and villas reported together, and where are the condo townhouses?
Because they are the same property type. A townhouse is the multi-level version (two or three stories) and a villa the single-level version of an attached home on its own platted lot; the association model, the fee structure and what the fee covers are the same. In Palm Beach Gardens today 83.3% of the listings on this page are entered as townhouses and 16.7% as villas (villa median $507, townhouse median $392, shown for context only). A townhouse or villa whose tax legal description records a condominium belongs to a condominium association, not an HOA, and is reported in the Palm Beach Gardens Condo Fee Index instead, whatever the listing agent selected as the property type.
How do we know a Palm Beach Gardens listing is an HOA and not a condominium?
From the tax legal description carried in each MLS record, never from the property type the agent chose. A legal that records a lot, block, plat or PUD is a platted homeowners association parcel; a legal that records a condominium is a condominium. In Palm Beach Gardens today 89.6% of the listings on this page carry a platted-lot legal and 10.4% carry a legal that does not state a regime either way (those keep their MLS type and are marked "regime not recorded" on the community pages).
Why are some Palm Beach Gardens HOA fees quoted quarterly?
Associations bill on different cycles. In Palm Beach Gardens today 92.7% of listings quote a monthly fee and 6.2% quote quarterly, 1% annually. Every figure on this page is converted to a monthly equivalent (a $900 quarterly fee counts as $300 a month) so listings can be compared. Fees with no billing cycle stated in the MLS are left out rather than guessed.
Do Palm Beach Gardens townhouses have more than one association fee?
Some do. In master-planned communities the MLS carries a master association fee and a sub-association or neighborhood fee. 15.6% of Palm Beach Gardens listings show a second layer; where present, the median master portion is $87 a month and the combined total $561. This page always sums the layers into the total and reports the second layer separately.
Are special assessments and club memberships included in these Palm Beach Gardens HOA figures?
No. A special assessment is a one-time or time-limited charge on top of the regular fee, and a mandatory club or equity membership is a separate obligation altogether. This page reports both as shares of listings whose public remarks mention them: 3.1% of Palm Beach Gardens listings mention a special assessment and 2.1% describe a required membership. Remarks are agent-written and not verified, so treat these as signals to ask about, not a fact about any one community.
What does a Palm Beach Gardens HOA fee usually cover?
Of Palm Beach Gardens listings that state what the fee includes (96), the most common items are common areas (88.5%), grounds (81.2%), cable tv (47.9%), trash (33.3%), security (28.1%), building insurance (26%). Insurance is listed as included on 26% and a reserve fund contribution on 15.6%. The items that most change what a townhouse fee is worth are roof, exterior and structure maintenance and insurance: a low fee that leaves them to the owner is not a cheaper fee.
Do newer Palm Beach Gardens townhouses ask higher HOA fees than older ones?
In Palm Beach Gardens today, townhouses and villas built since 2005 ask a median $350 a month against $478 for communities from before 1995. Newer master-planned communities usually carry gates, clubhouses, pools and landscaping contracts; older communities carry aging roofs and paving that either sit in reserves or arrive as assessments. Ask for the budget and reserve schedule either way.
Which Palm Beach Gardens communities have the lowest and highest HOA fees?
Too few Palm Beach Gardens communities have 10 or more townhouses or villas for sale today to rank them; the table on this page shows what is available, with small rows marked anecdotal.
How often is the Palm Beach Gardens HOA 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 98 listings today). This is a market read, not a statement about any one association's fee.
For sellers
Pricing a home correctly is a skill. It starts with data most agents and consumers never see.
41.8% of the townhouses and villas for sale in Palm Beach Gardens have already had to cut, a median $19,675, and buyers compare your fee against 96 other listings before they book a showing.
This page is built from every Palm Beach Gardens listing in BeachesMLS and refreshed each morning. Gia Freer, Broker of Record, turns that same data into one written pricing opinion for your townhouse or villa: the sales, cuts, fees and days on market it actually competes with, with the reasoning, before it goes live.

Method: medians and percentiles over active townhouse and villa listings in Palm Beach Gardens 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 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. Community names are normalized from free-text subdivision fields.
Townhouses and villas are one property type (multi-level and single-level) and are reported together; the villa share is shown for context. A listing appears here only when its tax legal description does not record a condominium: platted-lot legals (lot, block, plat, PUD) are homeowners association parcels, and legals that state no regime keep the MLS type and are marked as not recorded. Townhouses and villas whose legal records a condominium are reported in the Condo Fee Index, whatever property type the listing agent selected. 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.
