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.
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.
In Alberta the owners are in breach of the law if the do not have a Board. The Act is clear that this is required by the use of the term "shall". So the Board members that just resigned are at risk of personal liability at this point as they cannot simply step down and leave the condo without a board.
The authors of the standards defined the term fully funded as being “100 percent funded when the actual (or projected) reserve balance is equal to the fully funded balance.” The fully funded balance is the balance that is in direct proportion to the fraction of life “used up” for a given component.
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).
