What Washington law says
Washington is one of the states that writes a reserve study into law. Under RCW 64.90.545; 64.90.550 (older communities: RCW 64.34.380, 64.38.065), associations must have a study updated annually; update with visual site inspection by a reserve study professional at least every third year; the rule applies to common interest communities under WUCIOA (RCW 64.90); exemptions for nonresidential communities, nominal reserve costs, certain middle housing, and where cost exceeds 10 percent of the annual budget. Pre-2018 condos and HOAs fall under 64.34/64.38 (CAI describes these as encouraged).
The statute also says who may do the work: Initial study and every-third-year update by a reserve study professional. Ask a firm to confirm, in its proposal, that the person signing the report meets that test.
On disclosure: Study must show percent funded, 30-year projections and per-unit deficit or surplus, and carry a statutory warning. Public offering statement includes the current study or a no-study disclosure (per CAI).
Study levels defined in 64.90.550: Level I full, Level II update with site inspection, Level III update without site inspection.

Get a quoteWhat a study costs in Washington
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.
