They show up in listing remarks, lender questionnaires, association estoppels, and \u2014 when nobody asked early \u2014 on the settlement statement the week of funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"loc-lead\">On September 5, 2026, realtor Li Bensimon published an MLS count of every active condo listing within 15 miles of downtown Miami. Of the listings that answered the special-assessment field, <b style=\"color:var(--navy)\">23.7%<\/b> declared one \u2014 roughly 1 in 4. In buildings finished before 1998, the share rose to <b style=\"color:var(--navy)\">35.9%<\/b>; in 1998-or-later buildings it was <b style=\"color:var(--navy)\">10.8%<\/b>. South Florida condos overall declared at about 17.8%, while houses on the same field sat near 3.8%. This is a condominium story, not a generic Florida housing story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"loc-lead\">This article is general market and closing information for buyers, agents, and closings teams \u2014 not legal, tax, or lending advice.

We order estoppels early, confirm what the association reports as owed, and allocate levied vs future assessments per the contract so title can transfer clean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"loc-lead\">Who pays is usually driven by whether the assessment was already levied and by what the purchase contract says. Levied amounts are often the seller&rsquo;s responsibility (paid or credited at closing). Assessments first arising after closing typically follow the buyer. Confirm it in writing \u2014 do not assume custom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"loc-lead\">Florida Statutes \u00a7718.116 addresses unpaid assessments, interest, late fees, lien priority, and joint liability of the new owner for amounts unpaid through transfer. That is why an open assessment is a <b style=\"color:var(--navy)\">closing problem<\/b>, not only an ownership footnote.

The South Florida condo share was about 17.8%, versus about 3.8% for houses on the same field. Older coastal buildings declare far more often than post-2005 urban-core stock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-item\">\n<summary>Does a declared special assessment mean the building is unsafe?<span class=\"faq-chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#9662;<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">\n<p>No. It means the association levied a charge beyond the regular budget \u2014 which can be for concrete, roof, seawall, elevators, insurance, or reserve catch-up. Many well-run buildings carry one precisely because they are doing the work. The MLS field also only records what the agent declared, so treat it as a floor, not a full census.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-item\">\n<summary>Who pays a special assessment at closing?<span class=\"faq-chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#9662;<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">\n<p>Usually driven by whether it was already levied and by what the contract says. Levied amounts are often the seller&rsquo;s responsibility (paid or credited at closing); future assessments after closing typically follow the buyer. Confirm in writing \u2014 and verify against the estoppel, not only the listing remarks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-item\">\n<summary>What should I pull this week if I have a condo under contract?<span class=\"faq-chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#9662;<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">\n<p>Send the association documents to your lender and your closer the same day. Ask specifically about special assessments (levied vs pending), SIRS \/ milestone status, reserves, litigation, and master insurance. Blank MLS fields are a reason to ask more questions, not fewer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-item\">\n<summary>What does Florida Statutes \u00a7718.116 mean for buyers?<span class=\"faq-chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#9662;<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-a\">\n<p>In general terms, unpaid assessments can accrue interest and late fees, the association may hold a lien, and a new owner can be jointly liable with the prior owner for amounts unpaid through transfer. That is why open assessments must be cleared or credited on the settlement statement.
