Associations in the Fort Lauderdale area

Along the coast, condominium buildings line A1A from Hallandale Beach through Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and Pompano Beach to Boca Raton and Palm Beach. Inland, Plantation, Sunrise, Coral Springs and Pembroke Pines add mid-rise and garden condominiums, and large 55-plus communities such as the Century Village developments in Pembroke Pines, Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach are made up of many separate associations, each with its own budget and its own study.

County safety inspections on top of the state law

Broward County, like Miami-Dade, has long required older buildings to be inspected and recertified for structural and electrical safety under its own program, and the 2022 state law added the milestone inspection and the structural integrity reserve study. In a 1970s oceanfront building the three often point at the same concrete restoration, balcony and railing work. A firm that reads the recertification report and the milestone report before it prices the SIRS will give the board one consistent schedule instead of three.

The structural integrity reserve study page sets out who may perform a SIRS and what it must cover.

Distance and the fee in Fort Lauderdale

Firms based in Broward and Palm Beach counties, and the Miami firms a short drive south, cover this area without much travel. A community of many small associations, such as a large 55-plus development, can often save by asking one firm to study several associations on the same visit.

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 Florida law says

Florida is one of the states that writes a reserve study into law. Under Fla. Stat. 718.112(2)(g) (SIRS); 718.112(2)(f) (reserves); 720.303(6) (HOA reserves), associations must have a study SIRS at least every 10 years; the rule applies to residential condominiums (and cooperatives) with buildings three habitable stories or higher; four-family dwellings exempt. HOAs under ch. 720 have no SIRS requirement.

The statute also says who may do the work: Visual inspection performed or verified by a Florida-licensed engineer or architect, or a CAI Reserve Specialist or APRA Professional Reserve Analyst. Ask a firm to confirm, in its proposal, that the person signing the report meets that test.

On disclosure: Within 45 days of receiving the SIRS the association must distribute it or notify owners it is available, and file a statement with the Division. Officers and directors must sign an affidavit acknowledging receipt.

HB 913 (ch. 2025-175) set the SIRS threshold at three habitable stories, raised the non-specified component threshold from $10,000 to $25,000 with CPI indexing, barred SIRS preparers from doing the repairs, and added line-of-credit and pooled-reserve options. 2026 session: SB 722 (Condominium Structural Integrity Reserve Studies) died in committee on March 13, 2026.

Existing unit-owner controlled associations had to complete a SIRS by December 31, 2025; where combined with a milestone inspection, no later than December 31, 2026. Owner-controlled associations may not waive or reduce SIRS reserves for budgets adopted on or after December 31, 2024.

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

Questions from boards in Fort Lauderdale

We are one of several associations in a large community. Do we each need a study?

Yes. Each condominium association adopts its own budget and needs its own reserve schedule, and each building of three or more habitable stories needs its own SIRS. A master or recreation association needs a study for what it owns. Asking one firm to quote several associations together usually lowers the fee per association.

How much does a SIRS cost in Broward?

Firms price a structural integrity reserve study per building, not per county. Our reading of published prices is on the SIRS page; a tall oceanfront building with a garage costs more than a four-story inland one.

Is a reserve study required in Florida?

Florida law requires a structural integrity reserve study for condominium and cooperative buildings of three or more stories, at least every 10 years (Fla. Stat. 718.112(2)(g) (SIRS); 718.112(2)(f) (reserves); 720.303(6) (HOA reserves)). The text is on the legislature's site.

What does a reserve study cost in Fort Lauderdale?

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. A structural integrity reserve study is a separate fee of $5,000 to $16,500 or more per building. The cost page has the estimator.
