    2026 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

    Why Florida Condos/HOAs Need Reserve Studies

    In the wake of the tragic Surfside condominium collapse in 2021, Florida’s legislative landscape has undergone a seismic shift. As of March 2026, the critical December 31, 2025 deadline for initial studies has passed. For board members and property managers, reserve studies are now the primary tool for maintaining legal compliance and ensuring long-term community viability.

    A Florida reserve study provides a 30-year financial roadmap for major repairs. Under current regulations, the DBPR Reserve Threshold for 2026 has been adjusted to $25,675 for non-structural items, requiring high-precision professional evaluation.

    This regulatory evolution began with Senate Bill 4-D (2022), establishing the Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) requirements. Later refined by SB 154 (2023), the standards were tightened. Recently, House Bill 1021 (2024) introduced significant penalties for boards failing to maintain transparency or fulfill fiduciary duties regarding these critical inspections.

    For buildings 3 stories or higher, the grace period provided by House Bill 913 (2025) has concluded. Associations must now fully fund structural reserves without the option to waive contributions. Failure to provide a compliant SIRS now risks insurance non-renewal and substantial DBPR fines.

      FAQ
      Florida Reserve Studies and SIRS Compliance

      Who can do a reserve study in Florida?
      In Florida, reserve studies—particularly Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS) required for condos three stories or taller—must be performed by licensed professionals. Specifically, the visual inspection component of a SIRS needs to be conducted by a licensed architect or engineer qualified under Florida Statute 553.899. Traditional reserve studies (non-SIRS) can be handled by certified reserve specialists, but for compliance with HB 913 and SIRS mandates, sticking with licensed engineers or architects ensures accuracy and avoids penalties. At FPAT, our team includes these experts, combining local knowledge with rigorous standards to deliver compliant studies that protect your community from financial surprises.
      What is the deadline for completing a SIRS in Florida?
      For unit owner-controlled condo associations existing on or before July 1, 2022, the SIRS must be completed by December 31, 2025. If your building requires a milestone inspection by December 31, 2026, you can align the SIRS with it, but no later than that date. HB 913 (effective July 1, 2024) provides some extensions and flexibilities, like updated funding rules, but non-compliance risks insurance denials, fines, or legal issues. Don't wait—FPAT can get you started with a tailored proposal in 3-5 days to beat the deadline and secure peace of mind.
      What is the difference between a SIRS and a traditional reserve study?
      A traditional reserve study focuses on budgeting for long-term repairs and replacements of common elements, like roofs or pools, to prevent special assessments. A SIRS, mandated by Florida law post-Surfside collapse, is more targeted: it's a visual inspection-based tool that identifies structural components (e.g., foundations, load-bearing walls) and ensures reserves for their maintenance, excluding items with 25+ years of useful life unless deferred maintenance is needed. SIRS can't be waived for budgets after December 31, 2024. FPAT handles both, integrating Florida's hurricane risks and regulations for a comprehensive plan that keeps your property safe and compliant.
      What qualifications should I look for in a reserve study provider?
      Seek providers with licensed architects or engineers on staff, experience in Florida's condo/HOA laws (like SIRS and HB 913), and a track record of local projects. They should offer clear reports, inflation-adjusted funding plans, and quick turnarounds. Avoid generic firms—choose Florida experts who understand coastal corrosion and storm prep. FPAT checks all boxes: We're Sunshine State locals with proven authority, helping boards like yours avoid stress and achieve financial stability.
      How can FPAT help with my Florida reserve study?
      We're your guide through the chaos: Start by contacting us to share your concerns—we empathize with the pressure from insurance and regulations. We'll provide a custom proposal in 3-5 days, conduct the on-site inspection, and deliver a compliant reserve study (SIRS or traditional) that funds your property's future.
