Comparing Chiang Mai Condo Common Fees — What Is a Fair Rate and What Should It Cover

Comparing Chiang Mai Condo Common Fees — What Is a Fair Rate and What Should It Cover

Common fees are monthly costs that every condo owner and tenant must pay. Many still don't understand what a fair rate is or what it should cover.

Chiang Mai Common Fee Rates 2026

Entry-Level condos (basic amenities): THB 25-40/sqm/month — security, common area cleaning, elevator maintenance

Mid-Range condos: THB 40-65/sqm/month — all above + pool, fitness

Upper-Mid to Premium condos: THB 65-100/sqm/month — all above + Rooftop Lounge, meeting rooms, some Concierge

Luxury condos: THB 100-150+/sqm/month — 5-star hotel-level services

Example calculation: 40 sqm condo at THB 50/sqm = THB 2,000/month or THB 24,000/year

What Common Fees Should Cover

Always included: 24-hour security, common area cleaning, elevator maintenance, common area electricity, common area water, juristic management costs

Should include at mid-range and above: Pool maintenance, fitness, garden and landscaping, cumulative repair reserve fund

Red Flag (should not require extra payment): If the juristic committee charges additional fees beyond common fee for items that should already be included, this may signal non-transparent management

Signs Common Fee Is Too Low

Below THB 25/sqm/month typically means: insufficient maintenance funding, very low repair reserve, or service quality below acceptable standard

Signs Common Fee Is Too High

Above THB 80/sqm/month without commensurate Premium amenities — ask clearly what the high common fee actually covers

Pre-Purchase Recommendation

Always request the juristic committee's common fee breakdown and annual budget before deciding to buy — fair common fees and good management directly affect condo quality of life.
