Condo reserve funding

Florida condominium reserve funding rules, in plain language

How Florida's Chapter 718 condominium statute actually handles reserves — through a default budget framework, a member-vote waiver mechanism for some reserves, and the post-Surfside Structural Integrity Reserve Study regime that makes certain reserves non-waivable — and what all of that means for a board, owner, or buyer.

Fla. Stat. § 718.112(2)(f) and (g) — condominium annual budgets, reserve accounts, waiver limits, and Structural Integrity Reserve Study requirements, with milestone-inspection cross-reference to Fla. Stat. § 553.899 Reserve funding

Florida HOA reserve funding rules, in plain language

How Florida Statutes Chapter 720 actually handles HOA reserves, why they are elective rather than mandatory, and what that means for a board, owner, or buyer making a real decision.

Florida Statutes § 720.303(6) — Budgets; reserves
