Which law, here as everywhere
The reserve rules are state law and apply the same way in Broward as in the rest of Florida. A homeowners' association under chapter 720 has reserves only if its declaration or its members create them. A condominium under chapter 718 must budget reserves, and each building three habitable stories or higher needs a SIRS at least every 10 years.
For a Broward board
- Hand the reserve study firm your latest county safety inspection. Its findings on balconies, garages and seawalls feed straight into the component list.
- Seawalls and docks are inside the county program. If your community has them, make sure the study lists them with their own useful life.
- The state's data shows 155 Broward buildings needed phase two repairs in 2025, which tends to move studies from planning to funding repairs already found.
