Approximate average monthly fee per square foot, mid-2026. Coverage differs by city and building; a higher fee that includes utilities can cost less all-in than a lean fee plus separate bills.
How condo fees work
A condo fee is the building’s operating budget divided among owners, plus a contribution to the reserve fund that saves for future repairs. Roughly a quarter typically goes to utilities where they’re included, a fifth to the reserve, and the rest to maintenance, insurance, management, and amenities.
The counterintuitive rule: the fee level matters less than what it buys and how it’s trending. Healthy corporations raise fees 3 to 6% a year; fees frozen for three or more years usually signal an underfunded reserve heading for a special assessment. Each city page covers the full list of red flags.
