Will you get hit with a special assessment?

Special assessments can run into thousands per unit when major work outruns reserves. We model that risk for Governors Lane based on reserve health, building age, and New Jersey requirements — so you see it coming before the board votes.

Special assessment risk Planned dues increases Reserve shortfall forecast

Condo board meeting notice

New Jersey condo board meeting notice rules, in plain language

How New Jersey's Condominium Act handles board meeting notice — 48 hours written advance notice plus physical posting on the property and filing with the business office, open meetings required except working sessions, and why owner participation remains at the board's discretion.

N.J.S.A. 46:8B-13 — New Jersey Condominium Act, bylaws and board meeting requirements Condo reserve funding

New Jersey condominium reserve funding rules, in plain language

How New Jersey's Condominium Act actually handles reserves — through mandatory fund-handling and accounting rules for reserve funds once identified, without itself imposing a reserve-study cadence or funding formula — and what that means for a board, owner, or buyer alongside the separate PREDFDA reserve-study overlay.

N.J.S.A. 46:8B-15(e) — New Jersey Condominium Act, reserve fund handling and accounting HOA board meeting notice

New Jersey HOA board meeting notice 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)
