FAQ
As an HOA reserves rule of thumb, the reserve account should be at least 70 percent funded. If the reserve study determined that the account should have $30,000, you will be relatively safe with at least $21,000. That way, if there is an urgent matter, you will only need to collect $9,000 more from the homeowners.
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.
All North Carolina homeowners associations must be incorporated. If an HOA is organized as a nonprofit, it is subject to the North Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act. One or more persons may incorporate the organization by filing the Articles of Incorporation with the North Carolina Secretary of State.
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).
Owners can request a copy of their corporation by-laws from their condo corporation. To learn more about requesting records from a condo corporation, check out our page on requesting records and part 4 of the CAO's Best Practices Guide: Governance to learn more about by-laws.
Funding Level Unfortunately, most associations have underfunded HOA reserves. This means they have reserves that are below 70 percent funded. The ideal HOA reserve funding percent sits between 70 and 100 percent.
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.
Inium Laws in Ontario: In Ontario, iniums are governed by the inium Act, 1998. This act, however, does not specifically authorize condo corporations to fine unit owners for bylaw or rule violations.
For example, condo owners have access to common areas, can vote on matters and can sue developers or condo corporations for breaches. inium ownership also means there are certain responsibilities, such as paying their condo fees on time and following the inium bylaws and rules.
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.
