Short answer: generally, yes, unless its part of a rental complex.
Long answer: your issue may be in vocabulary. Condo is really condominium; fees are really assessments; townhomes is a style of real estate building.
When you purchase real estate, one option is to purchase a unit covered by governing documents -- Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Regulations (CC&Rs) -- that boards use a guides to operate private democracies including condominiums, home owners associations, co-operatives and so forth.
When you purchase real estate in such a 'shared ownership' style of real estate, you owe assessments automatically. Assessments are spent by the community to pay its expenses, including master insurance policy premiums, maintenance and preservation of amenities and structures, landscape maintenance, and so forth.
If the style of structure that you purchase -- a townhome -- is part of a shared ownership community, then, yes, you will pay assessments. (You may also purchase what could also be called an apartment, or a unit or a home as part of a shared ownership community.)
Alternatively, you may live in a townhome that is part of a rental complex with no individual unit ownership.
There is no standard, plus all fees are negotiable. The real estate agent involved in your transaction can explain fees to you.
Condominiums charged assessments to owners, in order to pay for the operation of the community. All condominiums collect assessments. In some communities, there may be optional fees for asset use, such as greens fees or pool fees. These fees are charged for use and may not be charged to owners who do not use the asset.
No, they are usually the same for all units regardless of square footage. A car dealership has signing fees for a new car that are standard, regardless of the value of the car.
Yes. You can petition the court for a partition of the property. If the court agrees it will appoint a commissioner to appraise the property and determine a selling price. You can then purchase your co-owner's interest. Since there are added court fees and legal fees associated to the partition you should try making a fair offer directly to your co-owner.You should discuss the situation with an attorney who specializes in real estate in your area.
Nothing. They're the same exact thing. As long as the HOA has dwelling coverage on all the buildings this is all you need.

There are lots of prices for condo's in the Chicago area. All of them have different factors that will affect the price. Age of the condo, dues, age of appliances, and location are all factors that will dictate the price. Also, if the condo is a foreclosure will have some bearing on the price. Generally someone can purchase a condo for about $250,000.

Pose this question to the mortgage lender, together with all the details involved. That person will be better prepared to give you the answer you need.

Unfortunately, yes. Well, let's call it "typical" more than "normal". There is an unfortnate tradition in all types of lodging for hidden fees. Hotels do the best job at not adding these fees. Some B&B's add manditory 'tips' for a variety of 'additional services'. But, if you asked about fees before booking, reputable places will tell you. And, in any case, if the fees are more than 10% of the stay, it's 'normal' to have a word with the manager.
