What is the average HOA fee in Palm Beach County?

Across all property types and cities in our database, the average monthly HOA fee is roughly $300-$400. Condos in coastal cities can run $700+. Single-family HOAs in inland cities can be under $150.

Why have Florida HOA fees gone up so much since 2022?

Three reasons: (1) property insurance crisis — master condo policies have multiplied; (2) SB 4-D reserve requirements after the 2021 Surfside collapse; (3) labor and material inflation across landscaping, security, and maintenance.

What drives high fees in Palm Beach County

Coastal master insurance. Condo buildings within 1,000 feet of the Intracoastal or ocean carry the highest premiums. A 60-unit condo a block from the beach can be paying $400+ per unit per month for insurance alone.
Amenity packages. Communities with 24-hour staffed gates, golf courses, equestrian facilities, or full-service clubhouses charge for that overhead.
Reserve catch-up. Older condos that previously waived reserves are now funding catch-up assessments under SB 4-D requirements.
Age and condition. 1980s-era condos generally need more reserve funding than newer construction.
Litigation overhead. Communities in active litigation pay legal fees out of dues.

Fees by property type

Single-family HOAs in Palm Beach County typically range from $80–$300 per month. Townhome HOAs run $200–$500. Condos vary widely by age and location — $300–$1,500+. Luxury high-rise condos along the Intracoastal can exceed $2,000 per month.

How to verify a community's fee

Listing-site fees are often outdated or wrong. The most reliable sources, in order:

Estoppel certificate. The official statement from the association — required at closing in Florida.
Current annual budget. Shows the dollar amount per unit and what it covers.
The management company directly. Call them and ask.
Resident submissions on HOA Agent. Verified resident reports tend to be accurate.
Listing site fees. Use only as a rough indicator, not as a verified number.

Methodology

HOA Agent collects fee observations from listing sites, resident submissions, public budget filings, and (when available) the Florida Division of Corporations. Every fee is rounded to the nearest $25 and stored as min/median/max so we never imply false precision. Listing-site fees are clearly labeled and require admin approval before they affect a community profile.

We exclude any source that produces "slider noise" — repeated round-number values like $100/$200/$300/$400/$500 that are actually filter UI artifacts, not real fees. For full data sourcing details see our methodology page.
