Average HOA fees in Florida: $310 a month median across 36 South Florida cities

What is the average HOA fee in Florida? In the five South Florida counties we track, the median monthly HOA fee on townhouses and villas is $310 across 3,665 listings as of October 26, 2026; condominium fees are tracked separately on our condo fee index. City medians run from $110 in Florida City to $595 in Palm City. We publish the median rather than a mean because a few very high fees would pull an average up; the full method is below.

Condominium-classified listings have their own median: see condo fees in South Florida.

As of October 26, 2026, the median monthly-equivalent fee for South Florida townhouses and villas is $310 in the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming: 3665 retained of 4010 active listings (3739 valid fees before trimming). 25th and 75th percentiles: $205 and $467.

Fee measures use the retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and geography-specific percentile trimming; recorded monthly equivalents, not verified payments. As of Oct 26, 2026. Retained sample n=3665, after exclusions and each geography's p1/p99 trim. Year, area and price measures require usable fields: fee per area uses LivingArea ≥300, n=3632; annual fee/price uses ListPrice ≥$20,000, n=3665.

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.

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.

74 of 3,739 valid fees were outside the region's percentile boundaries; that does not verify data-entry errors. Changing listing mix can move the median without the same owners' charges changing.

HOA and condo fee medians: separately trimmed county samples

Monthly-equivalent fee medians in separately trimmed county samples after exclusions: combined remaining Townhouse and Villa subtypes beside condominium-classified listings. HOA statistical date 2026-10-26; condo statistical date 2026-10-26. Recorded-field classification, not independent legal verification.

These separate retained samples differ in listing mix. The difference does not isolate building costs, insurance, reserves, coverage or a legal obligation. Miami-Dade: townhouse/villa $214 (n=1174), condo $1,040 (n=10672); Broward: townhouse/villa $330 (n=917), condo $700 (n=8844); Palm Beach: townhouse/villa $425 (n=1174), condo $746 (n=5208); Martin: townhouse/villa $304 (n=176), condo $661 (n=383); St. Lucie: townhouse/villa $373 (n=228), condo $860 (n=487). Ask each association what its fee includes.

Retained townhouse and villa fee sample by recorded construction year

Retained five-county sample after exclusions and region-level trimming: median monthly fee by recorded YearBuilt decade. Below 10 omitted; 10–29 requires caution. Counts use usable fees and years.

In South Florida's retained usable-fee sample after exclusions and percentile trimming, 1885 listings recorded as built in 2005 or later have a median monthly fee of $260; 1278 recorded as built before 1995 have a median of $392.

The construction-year comparison does not establish amenities, ownership model, coverage or what caused a fee difference.

How these figures are built

Method: medians and percentiles over active townhouse and villa listings in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties 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; listings with a fee but no stated frequency are excluded. Where the MLS carries a second association fee, the two layers are summed and the second layer is reported separately.

Snapshot 2026-10-26; retrieved 2026-10-26T07:13:04.304020+00:00; aggregate generated 2026-10-26T07:21:39+00:00; source 61696 rows, SHA-256 a280d30d6395b615d7fed60262ccb392f1dfad85f2db66aa6974e2839eff1ab5. Statistical date, retrieval and publication are distinct. Quarterly fees are divided by three, semiannual by six and annual by twelve.

Usable association layers are summed; missing frequencies are not guessed. Coverage uses records with a coverage field; keyword shares use the full retained sample. Neither verifies an association's documents.

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. These are analytical field classifications, not an independent determination of legal regime. MLS City labels can span counties and are not verified municipal boundaries. 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.
