The city has a strong Latin American community, particularly from Venezuela and Colombia, and is adjacent to Coral Springs and Boca Raton. Parkland's combination of safety rankings, school ratings, large lots, and community character has made it one of the most sought-after addresses in Broward County.

The city has access to multiple A-rated elementary, middle, and high schools. School assignments are determined by property address and are subject to change - always verify zoning directly with Broward County Public Schools before making a purchase decision.
What are the HOA fees in Parkland communities?
+
Nearly every community in Parkland has an HOA. Fees vary by community and typically range from $200 to $600 per month depending on amenities, gating, and maintenance scope. Communities with club facilities such as Heron Bay and Parkland Golf and Country Club may carry higher fees or separate club membership requirements. Before making an offer, your InvesTeam Realty agent will obtain HOA financials, reserve fund status, governing documents, and any pending special assessments for your review during the inspection period.
What are the closing costs for buyers in Parkland?
+
Parkland is in Broward County. Buyers typically pay 2% to 5% of the purchase price in closing costs on a financed transaction. Unlike Miami-Dade County where the buyer pays owner's title insurance, in Broward County it is customary for the seller to pay owner's title insurance - however this is negotiable and should be confirmed in your contract. Other key costs include doc stamps on the mortgage at $0.35 per $100 of loan and intangible tax at 0.20% of the loan amount. At Parkland price points these costs represent a meaningful dollar amount.

If purchasing from a foreign seller, FIRPTA withholding requirements may apply - consult your closing agent and a qualified tax advisor.
What is FIRPTA and does it apply to Parkland transactions?
+
FIRPTA - the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act - requires buyers to withhold up to 15% of the gross sales price when purchasing U.S. real estate from a foreign seller. Parkland has a significant Venezuelan and Colombian owner base and FIRPTA applies regularly in this market. Buyers have a legal obligation to withhold and remit these funds to the IRS at closing unless a valid exemption applies. Both buyers and sellers should consult a qualified tax advisor and real estate attorney before closing on any transaction involving a foreign seller.
