FAQ
National Reserve Study Standards (released in 1998) define three types of Reserve Studies: Full, Update With-Site-Visit, and Update No-Site-Visit. The Operating Budget is for the daily/weekly/monthly expenses at the association, while the Reserve Budget is for the major common area repair & replacement expenses.
Oregon Revised Statutes require homeowners associations to conduct an initial reserve study, prepare an initial maintenance plan and establish a reserve account.
Achieving a 70% funded reserve is considered a milestone for inium associations, indicating a reasonable level of financial preparedness. It signifies that the association has taken proactive steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of the community and mitigate the risk of financial instability.
OHIO'S LAW Generally, the law requires that inium boards either: 1) provide for “reserve” funds in the association's budget so as to avoid special assessments, or 2) obtain a majority vote annually of the ownership to waive the reserves.
To ascertain these numbers, a board should seriously consider hiring an outside firm to perform a “reserve study.” While Ohio law does not specifically require a reserve study, it is virtually impossible to have the owners intelligently vote on waiving reserves if the owners are not told how much they are waiving.
On average, The Board should be setting aside 15% to 40% of their total assessments towards reserves, although for some simpler situations, a more minimal reserve fund ratio of 10% to 15% may be sufficient. Develop a funding plan that aligns with the calculated reserve fund requirements.
Ohio HOA's are required to organize as nonprofit corporations. O.R.C. §5312.03(B). Thus, with regard to its organizational structure and general management, an association is subject to the authority of the Ohio Secretary of State.
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.
In Ohio, the procedure for dissolving an HOA may be outlined in the association's governing documents. If it is not, the board will need to obtain a majority vote from the members. A certificate must be submitted to the Ohio Secretary of State whenever a resolution of dissolution is enacted.
If an association is a non-profit, as is the case with most Ohio associations, it it will be governed by the Ohio Nonprofit Corporation Law. Visit the Ohio Secretary of State to search an association's corporate status, and view the articles of incorporation.
