FAQ
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.
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).
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.
Because a reserve fund must cover the costs to replace components over time, your fund should remain as close to 100% to cover those costs as possible. Once your reserve fund falls below 70%, you are more likely to need special assessments.
If the Reserve Fund is not fully funded upon closing or does not have a predefined amount, the most prescribed calculation involves the Average Annual Debt Service (AADS). AADS is simply the total of any remaining unpaid principal and interest, divided by the remaining number of years.
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.
