Frequently Asked Questions
Are Reserve Studies required by law?
Reserve Study requirements vary by state and local regulations. Some states require Reserve Studies or reserve funding disclosures for certain community associations, while others do not. Even where not required, Reserve Studies are widely considered a best practice for responsible financial planning and long-term property maintenance. Therefore, having a professional Reserve Study performed is considered to be part of the association board’s fiduciary responsibilty.
For an overview of Reserve Study and reserve funding requirements by state, the Community Associations Institute (CAI) maintains a helpful summary of applicable laws and resources.
How often should a Reserve Study be updated?
Best practices dictate that associations update their Reserve Studies at least every three years. However, to account for climate conditions, changes in construction costs, inflation, completed projects, and the condition of building components, Reserve Studies may need to be updated more frequently.
What components are included in a Reserve Study?
A Reserve Study may evaluate a wide range of common-area components, including:
- Roof systems
- Elevators
- Parking garages
- Swimming pools
- Clubhouses
- HVAC systems
- Plumbing systems
- Electrical systems
- Security systems
- Asphalt and paving
- Exterior painting and waterproofing
- Recreational amenities
The specific components included depend on the property type and association responsibilities.
How much does a Reserve Study cost?
The cost of a Reserve Study depends on factors such as property size, number of buildings, complexity of systems, and the scope of services required. Larger high-rise condominiums generally require more extensive evaluations than smaller communities. Contact Global Solution Partners for a customized proposal based on your property’s needs.
How long does a Reserve Study take to complete?
Completion times may vary greatly depending on many factors, including the provider’s workload, property size, document availability, and site visit scheduling. Complex properties with multiple buildings or extensive amenities may require additional time for analysis and reporting. Global Solution Partners strives to deliver most Reserve Studies within 30 days.
Why are Reserve Studies important for condominium associations?
Reserve Studies help associations plan for future repair and replacement costs, reduce the likelihood of special assessments, maintain property values, and support long-term financial stability. A properly funded reserve account helps ensure that major capital projects can be completed when needed.
What are reserve funds?
Reserve funds are money set aside by an association to pay for future major repairs and replacements of common-area assets. These funds help avoid unexpected financial burdens on owners and provide a structured approach to long-term capital planning.
Can a Reserve Study help avoid special assessments?
Yes. A professionally prepared Reserve Study helps associations anticipate future expenses and establish appropriate reserve contributions. Proper reserve funding can reduce the likelihood of large special assessments when major repairs or replacements become necessary.
Do homeowners’ associations (HOAs) need Reserve Studies?
While not always required by law, Reserve Studies are highly recommended for homeowner associations. They provide valuable guidance for budgeting, reserve funding, and maintaining community assets such as clubhouses, pools, roads, landscaping, and recreational facilities.
How do I request a Reserve Study proposal?
Requesting a proposal is simple. Contact Global Solution Partners with information about your property, including the number of units, building type, location, and amenities. Our team will review your needs and provide a customized proposal for a Reserve Study or Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS).
