Statutory requirements, board preparation checklist, the components a professional study covers, and the useful-life ranges that drive thirty-year funding plans. Generic reference. Not a substitute for a study calibrated to a specific association.
Florida condominiums of three stories or more must complete a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) every ten years (Fla. Stat. §718.112(2)(g)).
Most state regimes also require:
A reserve study has three parts:
CommunityPay maintains a Reserve Funding Status Report (RSR) generator tied to the live ledger. It is a status report, not a substitute for a professional study with on-site inspection.
What a board should have organized before commissioning a reserve study, and what a study delivers back. Use this list to evaluate whether the association is ready, regardless of state.
Categories most reserve studies cover. The specific components depend on the association. High-rise condos track far more than single-family HOAs. Gated communities track infrastructure that condos never see.
Asphalt shingle, metal, tile, or flat membrane roofs. Siding (wood, fiber cement, stucco, vinyl). Exterior paint. Soffits and fascia. Gutters and downspouts. Decks and balconies. Railings. Window and door frames in common areas.
HVAC chillers and cooling towers. Boilers and water heaters. Ventilation. Pumps. Fire suppression and sprinkler systems. Emergency generators. Elevators — cabs, controllers, jacks, and modernizations.
Parking lots: seal coat, overlay, full reconstruction. Concrete sidewalks and curbs. Site lighting. Storm drainage. Retaining walls. Fencing. Entry gates and signage.
Main water lines and risers. Sanitary and storm sewer lines. Backflow preventers. Common-area electrical panels and switchgear. Transformer pads. Distribution.
Pools, spas, and pool equipment. Clubhouse interiors. Fitness rooms. Playgrounds. Tennis and pickleball courts. Mailbox kiosks. Trash enclosures and dumpster pads.
Fire alarm panels. Emergency lighting. Smoke detectors in common areas. Fire-rated doors. Structural fireproofing. Sprinkler heads and inspection-required components.
A mid-size HOA typically tracks thirty to eighty components. A high-rise condo tracks two hundred or more. The categories above are illustrative. A professional reserve study identifies the components a specific association is responsible for.
Typical useful-life ranges for components common in reserve studies. Industry averages, not specific to any state, climate, or association. A professional study calibrates these to local conditions, construction quality, maintenance practice, and use intensity.

|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle roof | 20–25 years |

| Tile or slate roof | 50+ years |

Statutory floors for owner and board meetings — notice periods, delivery rules, quorum, voting, written consent, and record retention. Generic reference. Specific bylaws or declarations may impose tighter requirements; statutes set the minimum.
Most state regimes also require:
CommunityPay maintains a Board Meeting Packet generator that produces a state-aware agenda, draft minutes template, and compliance checklist for the board pack.
How meeting notice must be delivered, what it must contain, and what defects invalidate the notice. Statutes vary in mechanics; the principles are consistent.
Full notice requirements appear in Fla. Stat. §720.303 and the specific subsections cited in the Requirements tab.
Quorum sets the floor for a valid meeting. Voting mechanics — proxies, ballots, written consent — determine how votes are counted once the quorum is established.
Statute sets the default at 30% of allocated interests unless the governing documents specify a different threshold.
Most states permit proxies for owner meetings. The proxy must be written, dated, and signed; many states require revocation rights and an explicit scope (general or limited). Proxies do not extend to board meetings — directors must vote in person or by permitted remote means.
Action without a meeting requires unanimous written consent in most jurisdictions, though some states permit a lower threshold for narrow categories (uncontested matters, ratification). Document the consent in the corporate records, indexed to the action taken.
Secret-ballot procedures, double-envelope requirements, and inspector-of-elections rules apply in states with comprehensive election statutes. Director elections, recall votes, and assessment increases above a statutory threshold typically require secret-ballot procedure.
Available only when explicitly authorized by the declaration or bylaws. Otherwise straight voting applies — each membership casts one vote per open seat per candidate, with no concentration permitted.
Voting rights may be suspended for delinquent accounts in some jurisdictions. Suspension typically requires due-process notice and an opportunity to cure. Statutes vary; the bylaws must align.
Voting and quorum procedures are codified in Fla. Stat. §720.303 and applicable subsections. Specific procedures may be modified in the declaration and bylaws within statutory limits.
Minutes are the corporate record of the meeting. Statutes in every state require associations to maintain meeting minutes and make them available to owners on request. Retention periods and access rules vary.
Records retention and inspection rights are codified in Fla. Stat. §720.303 and related subsections. A records-request response that misses the statutory deadline may expose the association to a per-day penalty.
