Key Colony Beach is a small coastal city in Monroe County, Florida (ZIP 33051), located in the Florida Keys. It is not governed by a single master HOA but features multiple independent condominium and homeowners associations for its residential properties, particularly condos and townhomes. The city itself maintains strict codes and ordinances enforced by its Code Enforcement and Police Department. A resident organization, the Key Colony Beach Community Association (KCBCA), supports community interests but is not a traditional HOA.
HOA Fees and Financial Obligations HOA fees vary significantly by property and association, with no city-wide standard. Condo listings commonly show monthly fees ranging from several hundred to over $1,000 depending on amenities, maintenance, and reserves. Fees cover building maintenance, grounds, insurance, and reserves. Buyers should review specific association financials, as some discussions note the importance of well-funded reserves. City services like sewer and waste are billed separately.
