Condo board meeting notice

New Jersey condo board meeting notice rules, in plain language

New Jersey condominium reserve funding rules, in plain language

New Jersey HOA reserve funding rules, in plain language

How New Jersey's Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act and the 2024 Structural Integrity Law actually handle reserves — through a mandatory capital reserve study on a five-year cadence, a 30-year funding plan, credentialed preparer requirements, structural inspections for covered buildings, and a time-limited 85 percent reduced-funding option — and what that means for a board, owner, or buyer.

N.J.S.A. 45:22A-44.2 and 45:22A-44.3 (capital reserve study and reserve funding, as added by P.L. 2023, c. 214 and amended by P.L. 2025, c. 132) — Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act, plus C.52:27D-132.2 through 132.5 (structural inspections for covered buildings)
