Oriole Gardens (Margate): what the official records say

Oriole Gardens is a condominium of 34 low-rise buildings (buildings 1 to 34) in Margate, with units spread across W Atlantic Blvd and NW 4 Pl, NW 5 Ct and NW 5 Pl. This page covers only that condominium: Oriole Gardens Two (buildings 35 to 69) and Oriole Gardens Three (buildings 70 to 92) are separate projects, each with its own DBPR license, and their sales are not counted here.

This data comes from the BCPA (the Broward County Property Appraiser, the county office that keeps the record of every property), the DBPR condominium registry and SIRS database, and HUD's condominium list, read on October 23, 2026. The complex has 34 buildings and many addresses: that is why this page carries no single sale address.

These figures come only from public records, not from listings or the MLS. The BCPA publishes, for each folio, a recent sales history with its own rating code (Q = qualified, arm's-length · D = disqualified by the Appraiser · T = title change or nominal · E = unclassified). Sales were searched for each of the condominium's 34 subdivisions, including sales of $100 or less and with no "qualified only" filter, and only sales with code Q and a positive price recorded between October 23, 2024 and October 23, 2026 (24 months) were counted, plus one with code Q-DS that the folio labels a qualified distressed sale and that is counted with that label. Sections with no records were verified by widening the search back to 2020. Price and rating come only from the Appraiser.

Reconciliation note (as the package declares it): the first report of these sales stated a sum of $2,686,000 and a median of $95,000 that did not match its own price list. The reconciliation of October 23, 2026, run on a fresh BCPA export, resolved the $25,000 difference: that location search also sweeps two neighboring perimeters (the 484126 folio cluster, whose legal description reads "CONTINENTAL VILLAGE CONDO" — a different project with its own license — and the sections of Oriole Gardens Two and Three), and restricted to this condominium's 34 section codes it reproduces this page's figures exactly, to the dollar — the error was in the report, not in the list. Declared limits: 17 of the qualified sales are corroborated in aggregate and not sale by sale, because the first report's full list was not kept in local files; and the count of T rows (63) could not be reconciled against the fresh export, which does not return nominal transfers of $100 or less — T rows enter no sales figure.

One row per topic. "Pending official confirmation" means no public record showing it was read. It does not mean the fact exists or that it does not exist.

What the public records do not show is held by the association. Ask for it in writing and keep the answers:

• The recertification and state structural inspection (milestone) status: the reports filed and the closing letters, if they exist. The guide on 40-year building recertification explains each step.
• The SIRS with its reserve plan: no submission by this condominium appears on the DBPR lists; ask the association for the study directly, with the current reserve level.
• Approved or pending special assessments: the minutes of the last two years and the unit's account statement letter (the "estoppel": what the unit owes the association and the charges in force). The guide on the extra condo charge explains it.
• Major work: what it includes, on what dates, under what permits, who pays for it and how (a charge to owners, a loan or reserves).
• If you plan to use an FHA loan: this condominium does not appear on HUD's project list (the "Oriole Gardens" rejected in 2015 is the Three, a different condominium); ask your lender about single-unit approval. The guide on a condo with an FHA loan explains how to read the list.
• Your unit's exact building: the complex has 34 low-rise buildings and two neighboring condominiums with nearly identical names (Two, buildings 35 to 69, and Three, 70 to 92); confirm by the address and building number that the documents you receive belong to this condominium.

What is NOT public (but you should verify):

• The unit's exact HOA dues: they vary by unit (they are split by square footage and ownership interest); no listing or public record sets them for your unit.
• The current special assessment amount: the amount and payment method exist only in the association's documents; a figure seen in the press or in listings is not the document.
• The current rental, Airbnb and pet rules: they live in the association's documents, not in the public record; ask for them in writing.
• The association's budget and reserve level: the association's internal documents, for owners only.
• The building's status on lenders' confidential lists: none of those lists is public; your lender confirms it.
