What are association dues?
Monthly fees collected by the condo or homeowners' association to maintain common areas, security, utilities, and amenities. Typical range is ₱40–₱120 per square meter per month in Metro Manila.
What's included
Usually: 24/7 security, building maintenance, common area cleaning, water for common areas, garbage collection, and amenity upkeep (pool, gym, function rooms).
Special assessments
Sometimes the association will collect special one-time assessments for major repairs (façade repainting, elevator replacement, roof repair). These can be substantial — sometimes ₱50,000–₱200,000.
Quick Tips
