What Ohio law says

Ohio regulates reserve funds without requiring a study. Ohio Rev. Code 5311.081 (condos); 5312.06 (planned communities) sets rules on how reserves are held, funded or disclosed for Condominiums and planned communities; the amount the association should hold is left to the board, which is exactly the question a reserve study answers.

Budget must include reserves adequate to repair and replace major capital items unless owners with a majority of voting power waive it in writing annually. No study required.

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

3 to 5 yrs

between studies is the usual practice where no statute sets a cycle.

What a study costs in Ohio

Firms price a reserve study by the work, not the state: the number of buildings, the length of the component list, the level of service and the travel. A community of 50 to 150 units usually pays $2,000 to $8,000 for a full study with a site visit; an update with a visit is quoted at about 50 to 80 percent of a full study, and an update from the desk at 25 to 50 percent of a full study, often under $1,000 for a small community. The cost page has the estimator, the ranges by community size and where the figures come from.

Proposals from firms in Ohio will differ on the level of service before they differ on the fee. Comparing proposals sets out what to read first.

Questions from boards in Ohio

Is a reserve study required in Ohio?

Ohio law sets rules for reserve funds but does not mandate a study (Ohio Rev. Code 5311.081 (condos); 5312.06 (planned communities)). The text is on the legislature's site.

How often should an association in Ohio update its reserve study?

With no statutory cycle, the usual practice is an update with a site visit every three years and a full new study every five to ten, or sooner after major work or a special assessment.

What does a reserve study cost in Ohio?

Fees are quoted per association, not per state. A community of 50 to 150 units usually pays $2,000 to $8,000 for a full study with a site visit; firms quote an update with a visit at about 50 to 80 percent of a full study and an update without one at 25 to 50 percent of a full study, often under $1,000 for a small community. Travel to a remote community adds to the fee.

Who can perform a reserve study in Ohio?

Ohio law does not restrict who may prepare a reserve study. Boards usually look for a Reserve Specialist (RS), a Professional Reserve Analyst (PRA) or a licensed engineer, and for a firm that has studied communities like theirs.
