HOA Fees and Rules in North Miami

A buyer's guide to understanding Homeowners Association (HOA) fees, rules, and governance in North Miami's communities.

Many communities in North Miami, particularly gated and condominium neighborhoods, are governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). This guide provides buyers with essential information about HOA fees, rules, and what to look for during your due diligence process.

HOA fees can vary dramatically based on the neighborhood and the amenities provided. For example:

• Gated Waterfront Communities (e.g., Keystone Point): Fees are often higher, covering 24/7 security, gate maintenance, and common area landscaping. These communities offer enhanced privacy and security, which is factored into the cost. For more details, see our Gated Communities Guide.
• Condominium Buildings: Fees typically include building insurance, exterior maintenance, water, and amenities like a pool or gym. These can range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars per month.
• Non-Gated Single-Family HOAs: Fees are generally lower, covering basic common area upkeep.

Commonly covered expenses include:

• Security services (guards, gate maintenance)
• Landscaping of common areas
• Maintenance of shared amenities (pools, clubhouses, etc.)
• Building exterior maintenance and insurance (for condos)
• Trash removal and pest control

Before buying, it's crucial to review the HOA's governing documents. Common restrictions include:

• Pet policies (size, breed, and number limits)
• Parking regulations
• Architectural guidelines for exterior modifications
• Rental restrictions (e.g., minimum lease terms)
