WHAT ARE HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION FEES – HOA FEES?

In Florida you will typically find gated communities and some non-gated communities have a Homeowner’s Association (HOA) and frequently a Master Homeowner’s Association too in which HOA fees are charged. They typically collect monthly, quarterly, or annual HOA fees for the upkeep of common areas, lawn care, exterior maintenance, water, cable, internet, and pest control to name a few!

In condominiums and multi-family living the HOA fees will usually be higher than that of single family living because they will provide for more of these items. It would be common to expect irrigation water, water, lawn care & landscaping, exterior maintenance (paint, window cleaning, light fixtures, etc.), building insurance, exterior pest control, internet and cable to be included in these multi-family dwellings.

In single family living, we typically see cable and internet and sometimes irrigation water provided by the HOA. It is very common for single family homeowners to provide their own lawn and pool care, pest control, building insurance, and water.

If you’ve found a home you like and you wonder whether there is an HOA and what it includes, contact me and I’d be happy to share that information with you.
