Retained samples after exclusions and trimming: West Palm Beach $432; five counties $310 per month

Source: PBP Real Estate analysis of BeachesMLS listings permitted for internet display, analytically classified as remaining townhouses and villas after condominium classification. Fee measures use the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and geography-specific percentile trimming; recorded monthly equivalents, not verified payments. As of Oct 23, 2026. Retained sample n=153, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=153; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=153.

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.

Fee medians can change when the listing mix changes; they do not track the same owners' charges. 4 of 157 valid-fee records were outside the city percentile boundaries, not verified errors.

Association fees are part of a buyer's carrying-cost comparison. In the dated retained townhouse-and-villa sample for West Palm Beach, compare the median, distribution, recorded construction-year and asking-price groups. Coverage fields and remark flags are prompts to request current association documents; the fee amount alone does not determine who maintains the roof, exterior or insurance.

How do West Palm Beach HOA fees vary by construction decade?

Retained usable-fee sample after city trimming, West Palm Beach: monthly-equivalent fee by recorded YearBuilt decade. Groups below 10 are not interpreted; 10–29 require caution. Counts use records with usable fees and years.

In West Palm Beach's retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 20 listings recorded as built in 2005 or later have a median monthly fee of $365; 100 recorded as built before 1995 have a median of $438. Groups of 10–29 require caution. This does not identify the cause of a difference. Ask for the association budget, coverage and reserve documents instead of inferring them from age or fee level.

How do West Palm Beach HOA fees change with asking price?

Asking price band	Listings	Median fee / month	Fee as share of price / year
Under $250K	16	$597	3.08%
$250K to $500K	132	$422	1.51%
$500K to $1M	4	too few	—

The annual-fee/current-asking-price ratio compares recorded carrying costs within the retained sample. It does not establish a relationship between fees and price or a buyer's final payment. Groups below 10 are not interpreted; 10–29 require caution.

What coverage is recorded in West Palm Beach? Shares use 151 retained listings with a coverage field

Within the retained sample after exclusions and trimming, each coverage share uses the 151 records with at least one coverage item, not all 153 retained records. Items can overlap; blank fields do not establish absence.

Two fees of $432 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.

What sits on top of the HOA fee in West Palm Beach? Special assessments, memberships and leases

These keyword flags use all 153 retained records after exclusions and trimming, including records without remarks. Land-lease flags also use the recorded land-lease field. We add no charges inferred from remarks. Neither positive nor blank flags independently verify an obligation or its absence.

Displayed community groups within the retained city sample after exclusions and trimming, capped at 60; not a census. Names are normalized MLS text and may split or combine spelling variants. Under 10 is anecdotal; 10–29 requires caution.

Flags use each retained group; villa counts use the recorded subtype, not independently verified form. 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 $432 a month, or $0.33 per square foot, as the West Palm Beach midpoint; ask why a home sits far outside $330 to $605.
Ask what the fee covers before you compare dollars: roof, exterior, lawn, insurance, gate. Then ask for the current budget and reserve schedule. 3.9% of West Palm Beach 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; 7.8% of West Palm Beach listings show two.

Sellers

State the fee, its billing cycle and what it covers in the listing; buyers compare against this page and against 153 other West Palm Beach townhouses and villas.
If an assessment is paid or none is pending, say so plainly; 1.3% of your competition already does.
A fee above $605 is not a defect if the coverage justifies it; list the coverage.

Media writers

Angle: West Palm Beach HOA fees on townhouses and villas run 39% above the five-county median ($432 vs $310); 40.5% of listings ask $500 or more. Post-2005 communities ask 17% less than pre-1995 ones.

Questions people actually ask about West Palm Beach HOA fees

What is the median fee in West Palm Beach?

How are fee frequencies and association layers handled?

Within the retained sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 4.6% have quarterly frequency. Quarterly fees are divided by three, semiannual by six and annual by twelve. Usable MLS fee layers are summed. 12 of 153 retained listings (7.8%) 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, 151 listings record at least one coverage item: Common areas: 78.8%; Grounds: 73.5%; Cable TV: 45%; Trash: 39.7%; Building insurance: 36.4%; Recreation facilities: 27.2%. Coverage shares use that denominator. Assessment mentions are 6 of 153 retained listings (3.9%), 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?

Which denominators and date apply?

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=153, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=153; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=153.

Data snapshot: October 23, 2026; publication and correction dates are separate. 4 of 157 valid fees were excluded by percentile boundaries; they are not verified errors.

Statistical date, retrieval and publication are distinct. “West Palm Beach” 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: Palm Beach: 164.

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.

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. 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.
