METHODOLOGY
Method: medians and percentiles over active townhouse or villa listings in Fort Lauderdale permitted for internet display in PBP Real Estate's BeachesMLS data feed, snapshotted daily at about 5:00 AM Eastern; this kit reflects listings as of September 7, 2026. 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 and related shares are keyword classifications of agent-written public remarks and are not verified. Townhouses and villas are one property type and are reported together; a listing is included only when its tax legal description does not record a condominium (platted-lot legals are homeowners association parcels). Townhouses and villas organized as condominiums are reported in the Condo Fee Index. Cities need 30 or more listings with a usable fee to be reported; decades with fewer than 10 listings are not read. 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.
