Florida is home to some of the highest condo and homeowners association fees in the country, new U.S. Census data shows.
Why it matters: While condo and HOA dues help pay for maintenance and amenities like pools and gyms, they can add to the already high cost of homeownership.
State of play: About 43% of Florida homeowners paid condo or homeowners association fees last year, compared to 25% nationwide.
- The typical monthly bill for such fees in the state was $230, above the U.S. median of $135.
Between the lines: The amount of condo and HOA fees differs widely between and within states.
- Roughly 5.6 million homeowners nationwide paid less than $50 a month in 2024, while around 3 million paid over $500.
Case in point: Florida's typical fees are high but still far below the median in New York ($739), Washington, D.C. ($505), and Hawai'i ($470).
- Arkansas had the lowest, at just $49 a month.
Friction point: Such associations often enforce strict rules on everything from holiday decor to lawn care, with fines for residents who fail to comply.
Yes, but: Florida adopted a law last year that limits what an HOA can demand of its members and curbs excessive fines.
- The law banned HOAs from fining residents for leaving garbage cans out within 24 hours of trash collection or for keeping holiday decor up without first notifying them and giving them a week to remove it.
