How Expenses Are Shared Among Co-Owners
Every owner pays their equal share. Nothing more.
Co-owners share ongoing property costs equally, in proportion to their ownership interest. For a group of eight equal owners, each owner carries one-eighth of the shared costs — divided transparently, tracked clearly, and agreed to before anyone owns anything.

What counts as a shared expense.
Property taxes - Divided equally among co-owners, paid through the LLC on the same schedule as any Florida property tax bill.
Insurance - Property insurance is held at the LLC level, covering the property itself. Cost is divided equally among the ownership group.
HOA / condo association fees - Where applicable, divided equally and paid on the association's regular billing cycle.
Routine maintenance and repairs - Day-to-day upkeep — landscaping, minor repairs, seasonal maintenance — divided equally as costs arise.
Reserve fund contributions - A shared reserve, funded by all co-owners, set aside for future major expenses. Covered in detail below.
Property management fees - If the group engages a manager (or uses HavenHub once available), management costs are divided equally among owners.
Why the reserve fund matters more here than almost anywhere else.
The reserve fund is particularly important in the Emerald Coast market. Post-Surfside building legislation has created reserve funding requirements for many Florida condo associations — and a funded reserve is what prevents a surprise assessment from becoming a financial emergency for the group.
CoHaven builds reserve fund planning into group formation from the start, rather than leaving it as an afterthought the group discovers it needs after an assessment notice arrives. Every co-owner knows the reserve contribution structure before closing.
How costs compare to owning solo.
Each co-owner's annual carrying cost is a fraction of what solo ownership of the same property would require — the same insurance bill, the same tax bill, the same maintenance needs, divided among the group rather than carried by one owner alone.

How payments are tracked and collected.
Shared expenses are tracked and collected through the LLC — not through informal reimbursement between owners. This keeps the accounting clean and avoids the awkward dynamic of one owner chasing another for their share.
CoHaven's HavenHub platform, currently in development, will handle expense tracking and collection digitally for CoHaven groups. > Learn more about HavenHub.
