Hallandale Beach occupies the southeast corner of Broward County, bordered by Hollywood to the north and the Miami-Dade county line to the south. Aventura lies immediately across that line. The city covers roughly four and a half square miles between the Atlantic and the western edge at I-95.
The county line is the single most consequential fact about buying here. A property in Hallandale Beach and a property a few blocks south in Aventura sit in different counties, under different property appraisers, different school districts, and different hospital taxing districts.
What is actually here
Hallandale Beach is condominium-dominant, with high-rise inventory concentrated along the ocean and the Intracoastal and mid-rise and low-rise buildings inland. There is limited single-family product, and it turns over less frequently.
A substantial share of the condominium stock dates from the 1970s and 1980s, which places much of it past or near the milestone inspection threshold.
2025 adopted millage
| Total millage | 20.6717 |
| School portion | 6.4845 |
| Non-school portion | 14.1872 |
| Municipal levy | 7.7338 |
| School share of bill | 31.4% |
Includes 0.3490 debt service.
The 2025 adopted total millage is 20.6717 with a municipal levy of 7.7338 including debt service, second highest in this guide behind Hollywood.
The comparison that matters here is with Aventura, four blocks south across the county line, at 16.7488. The difference is 3.9229 mills. On a $650,000 homesteaded property that is roughly $2,400 a year, on two properties that a buyer searching by radius would treat as interchangeable.
The school share is 31.4 percent, among the lowest here, which means Amendment 3, applying to non-school levies only, would deliver a comparatively larger reduction in Hallandale Beach than in Aventura.

What determines the cost of ownership here
The 1970s and 1980s condominium stock is the central issue. Under Fla. Stat. 553.899, structural milestone inspection is required at 30 years, or 25 within three miles of the coastline. Given the city's coastal position, the earlier threshold applies broadly, and much of the inventory is well past it.
Fla. Stat. 718.112(2)(g) requires a Structural Integrity Reserve Study and funding for identified components. In buildings of this vintage, the gap between a completed study and actual reserve funding is where special assessments originate. A monthly assessment quoted on a listing may not reflect an assessment already voted.
Warrantability follows from the same facts. Buildings with incomplete reserve funding can fall outside Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac condominium project standards, which limits the financing available to your eventual buyer as well as to you.
What I would check in Hallandale Beach
- Milestone inspection status and the full report, given the age of much of the stock
- Structural Integrity Reserve Study completion and whether reserves are actually funded
- Any special assessment voted, pending, or under discussion, and the amount per unit
- Warrantability, before assuming conventional financing is available
- The estoppel, ordered early
- A tax comparison against any Miami-Dade property under consideration, since the county line changes the structure
- Lease restrictions and minimum lease terms if the plan involves renting
- Non-ad valorem assessments, which are separate from the millage figure
Hallandale Beach questions
What is the property tax rate in Hallandale Beach?
The 2025 adopted total millage is 20.6717, per the Broward County Property Appraiser. The municipal levy is 7.7338 including debt service. Non-ad valorem assessments are billed separately and are not included in this figure.
Is it cheaper to buy in Hallandale Beach or Aventura?
On property tax rate alone, Aventura is lower: 16.7488 against 20.6717 for 2025, a difference of 3.9229 mills or roughly $2,400 a year on a $650,000 homesteaded property. Purchase price, association assessments, and insurance vary building by building and can outweigh the tax difference in either direction, so the rate is one input rather than the answer.
Do milestone inspections apply to Hallandale Beach condos?
Broadly, yes. Fla. Stat. 553.899 requires structural milestone inspection for buildings three stories or more at 30 years, or 25 years within three miles of the coastline. Given the city's coastal position and the age of much of its condominium stock, a large share of the inventory is past that threshold. Verify status for the specific building.
