FAQ

Percent funded as defined by National Reserve Study Standards is “The ratio, at a particular point of time (typically the beginning of the Fiscal Year), of the actual (or projected) Reserve Balance to the Fully Funded Balance, expressed as a percentage.” More simply, Percent Funded compares what you have (Reserve ...

A reserve fund is savings or a liquid asset set aside to cover unexpected costs or future financial obligations. Many governments, financial institutions, and individuals regularly set aside funds into accounts that earn interest.

Reserves are like savings accounts – an accumulation of funds for a future purpose. The source of funding for a reserve might be surpluses from operations, or scheduled transfers that have been planned and budgeted.

Answer: As of 2024, Florida law requires all condos over three stories to conduct mandatory building inspections and a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) every 10 years. Additionally, associations can no longer waive or reduce reserve funds, ensuring they are fully funded to cover future repairs.

The ideal HOA reserve funding percent sits between 70 and 100 percent. Of course, it would be best to keep your reserves 100 percent fully funded at all times. But, maintaining 70 percent funding is a respectable position. Underfunded reserves will ultimately lead to special assessments or dues increases.

No Reserve Fund Equals Higher Dues or Special Assessments An HOA without an adequate reserve fund may have to increase dues significantly right away or levy special assessments. Neither of these options will get you popularity points with the development's homeowners.

There is no specific legal rule dictating the amount or proportion of a charity's income funds that can be held as reserves. Areas of activity, funding sources, future needs, opportunities, economic conditions, contingencies and the risks being faced are factors which determine a charity's reserves level.

Percent funded is calculated by dividing the current reserve fund balance by the fully funded balance. In the above example, if the association has $30,000 in reserves in year 10, it is 60% funded ($30,000 / $50,000).

Every property has its own unique list of common area assets that the HOA is responsible to maintain. On average, HOAs should be setting aside 15% to 40% of their total assessments towards Reserves. This percentage holds true for all types of associations.

Reasonable Reserves means an amount of funds set aside or amounts allocated to reserves for the Company as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers, not to exceed the then-current expected total for six (6) months of (a) working capital and other expenditures consistent with the applicable Business Plan or Budget ...
