Can you deduct HOA fees?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If the HOA fees are for your own home--NO. If they are for a rental property you own and are the landlord of, then yes.
If some part of the fee paid for property taxes on common land that you owned a share of, and you received a separate itemized statement of what the property taxes were, you could include that in your deduction for property taxes.
If you paid a special assessment for improvements to common property, you can add that to your cost basis in the property, which may reduce your capital gains when you sell, but is not immediately deductible. (Improvements are not repairs; improvements add value or extend the useful life of the property, not merely repairing it to its original condition.)
anything else is not deductible as a personal expense, it’s not deductible mortgage insurance because you are not the borrower on any mortgage loan that the HOA is subject to, and you can never deduct regular property maintenance such as lawn mowing or snow plowing no matter where you live.
if the property is used in business, either because you rent it out, or because you have a home office deduction, then you can include the HOA fees as a property expense that is deductible against income.
