Associations in the Phoenix area

Master-planned communities and HOAs cover much of the valley, from Scottsdale, Gilbert and Chandler to Peoria, Surprise and Goodyear, with condominium and townhome associations mixed in and a growing number of towers in downtown Phoenix and Tempe. Many communities share pools, parks, private streets and miles of block walls.

No study law, but sun, heat and pavement

Arizona does not require a reserve study. The resale disclosure shows the reserve balance, and a buyer receives the latest study if the association has one, so a missing or stale study shows up at every sale. The desert shapes the component list: asphalt streets that need seal coating on a short cycle, foam and tile roofs, pool and spa equipment, block walls, and desert landscaping and irrigation. A firm that knows local paving and roofing prices is worth more here than a generic schedule.

Distance and the fee in Phoenix

Firms based in Chandler, Goodyear and Avondale cover the whole valley, so travel is rarely a cost. Associations in Prescott, Payson or Tucson may see a mileage line from a Phoenix firm.

Proposals from firms in different cities will differ on the level of service and the travel line before they differ on the fee. Comparing proposals sets out what to read first, and the firms near you page explains how distance is priced.

What Arizona law says

Arizona regulates reserve funds without requiring a study. A.R.S. 33-1260; 33-1806 sets rules on how reserves are held, funded or disclosed; the amount the association should hold is left to the board, which is exactly the question a reserve study answers.

On disclosure: Resale statement shows total reserves; buyer gets the latest reserve study, if any (per CAI).

General information checked against the statute, not legal advice. Governing documents can require more than the law does.

Questions from boards in Phoenix

If Arizona does not require a study, why get one?

Because the board still sets the reserve contribution every year, buyers see the reserve balance at resale, and lenders and insurers ask how reserves were set. A study is the only defensible basis for the reserve line in the budget.

How often do Phoenix HOAs update their studies?

With no statutory cycle, the usual practice is an update with a site visit every three years and a full study every five to ten years, with a desk update in between if costs move.

Is a reserve study required in Arizona?

Arizona law sets rules for reserve funds but does not mandate a study (A.R.S. 33-1260; 33-1806).

What does a reserve study cost in Phoenix?

Firms price each association by the work, not the city: buildings, component count, level of service and travel. A community of 50 to 150 units usually pays $2,000 to $8,000 for a full study with a site visit, and an update with a visit is about 50 to 80 percent of a full study. The cost page has the estimator.
