About Jade East Towers

Jade East Towers wears a plural name over a single building. Its recorded declaration speaks throughout of the building containing the units, and a 2003 certificate of amendment signed by the association's president puts the question beyond argument: the sole condominium that association operates is Jade East Towers, a condominium. What the record divides is position inside that one structure. The share of elements exhibit lays out five residential stacks of seventeen units apiece, named east to west, with East End and East Center at 1,619 and 1,624 square feet, a two bedroom Center stack at 1,314 square feet, and West Center and West End at 1,622 and 1,619 square feet. Three penthouses sit above them at 2,495, 2,645 and 2,500 square feet, and a 233 square foot commercial unit closes the schedule, which the declaration allows to be put to commercial purposes as well as the residential use the other units carry. That leaves 88 residences, the number this page reports, with the commercial unit counted separately. The recorded legal description settles the setting: the parcel lies south of State Road, cited in the instrument as U.S. Highway No. 98, and its boundary runs 350 feet south to a point marking the Gulf of Mexico before meandering east along the water. Amenities are thinly documented in the public record, and this page follows the record rather than filling the gap. The 2003 recorded amendment carries fitness center rules, which establishes a fitness center on the property. Covered parking on the ground floor is a limited common element, and the declaration guarantees every owner at least one space at no charge. For anything beyond those two, ask the association for a current amenity schedule. For diligence the association publishes its governing instruments openly, and among them the 2019 amendment addressing rental occupancy is the one a buyer weighing rental use should obtain in its recorded form first.

Jade East Towers Owners Association, Inc. has been an active Florida not-for-profit corporation since its 1994 filing with the state, and BBA Association Management has served as its management partner since December 2023. Ownership shares are not uniform here: the recorded declaration assigns each unit its share of the common elements and common surplus by unit type, so a penthouse, a three bedroom and the two bedroom plan carry different fractions of the whole. The association publishes its articles, bylaws, declaration and recorded amendments openly, and names its hazard and flood carriers. Budgets and current rules sit behind the owner portal rather than in that public set, so request them from the association during diligence.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.

The original Jade East Towers declaration says each unit except the commercial unit may be used only as a residence, permanent or transient. The association lists a rental occupancy amendment dated September 23, 2019; its posted copy is an unreadable scan, so ask for a readable copy. A 2003 recorded amendment adds Spring Break rules for dates the board posts yearly. It limits guests to six in a two-bedroom unit and eight in a three-bedroom. Visitors are capped at half that. A parent or legal guardian over 25 must stay in any rental unit where anyone under 25 is present. Get the 2019 amendment and current rules.

Building Answers

Jade East Towers FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Jade East Towers?

As of November 11, 2026, the 3 Jade East Towers condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $1,888 to $1,894 a month, with a median of $1,894 a month. Fees vary with unit size and type, so the fee for a specific residence is the one its listing and the association state.

Is Jade East Towers one building or several?

One. The plural sits in the name only. Its founding declaration uses the singular throughout, describing the building containing the units, and a certificate of amendment recorded in 2003 confirms that this association operates a single condominium. Position inside that one structure is what the record actually divides: five residential stacks of seventeen units each run east to west, three penthouses sit above them, and one small commercial unit is carried in the same schedule.

What street is Jade East Towers on?

US Highway 98 East. Three separate records agree: the state corporate file lists a principal address of 1018 Highway 98 E, a 2003 certificate of amendment gives 1018 Highway 98 East, and the founding legal description puts the parcel south of State Road, which that instrument names as U.S. Highway No. 98. None of the building's own records give it a beach-road name.

How close to the water does Jade East Towers actually sit?

Its own legal description carries the closest measure: the surveyed boundary reaches the Gulf of Mexico on a final southward call of 350 feet, then meanders east along the water for another 230 feet. That is a surveyed property line rather than a walking route, so read it as the depth of the parcel between the building and the water, and confirm how the sand is actually reached with the association.

What do the association's documents say about renting at Jade East Towers?

More than most buildings publish, and still not a settled answer. The declaration limits every unit but the commercial one to residential occupancy, and it frames that occupancy as permanent or transient rather than naming any minimum term. Its transfer section leaves a lease outside association approval, while asking for notice of a transfer except where the term runs under one month. Two later instruments bear on the same subject: a rental occupancy amendment the association dates 09.23.2019, published as a page image with no readable text, and a 2003 amendment setting occupancy limits during a board-defined Spring Break period. Because the most recent of the three cannot be read from the published copy, this page draws no rental conclusion. Read the current recorded documents and the association's rules.
