This answer is based on our knowledge of Massachusetts, but chances are most of what's stated here also applies to your situation.

Individual condo fees are typically based on square footage, but it's not unheard of to take into account number of bedrooms, view, amenities, and other factors. One building we know of has five different fees even though all the apartments are the same size. In that building, those with a view pay more than those without, and those on the top floor get a discount because there's no elevator. Sometimes condo fees seem unfair; sometimes they really are unfair.

Rarely is a condo association willing or able to change its fee structure. Consider the obstacles:

• Your condo fee (and assessments) is based on the percent ownership you have in the condo association. To change the percent ownership, the condo association might need to get permission from all the owners and would need to hire a lawyer to revise and refile the condo docs.
• Mortgage companies might balk at a proposal to reduce the mortgagee's ownership percentage.
• Proposing changes could expose many more divisions within the condo association, as each owner makes a case for lower fees.
• It's possible you were already compensated for higher fees by getting a lower price when you purchased your unit.
