Reserve study companies for Arizona communities
Arizona communities deal with intense heat, monsoon storms, and sun exposure that accelerate wear on roofs, pavement, and exterior finishes. Boards that plan ahead avoid emergency assessments when major projects hit.
- Through PropFusion, you can connect with reserve study companies that already work with:
- Condominium associations (garden-style and mixed-use buildings)
- Single-family home HOAs and master-planned communities
- Townhome and duplex communities
- Age-restricted and active adult communities
- Resort, golf course, and vacation ownership communities
Arizona reserve study requirements in plain language
Arizona law does not require HOAs or condominium associations to conduct a reserve study or to fund reserves to a specific level. However, for communities with lots/units above certain thresholds, resale disclosure statements must show how much is in reserves and, if a reserve study exists, provide a copy to the buyer.
No statutory mandate
Arizona statutes do not mandate that planned communities or condos commission a reserve study or maintain a minimum reserve balance.
Resale disclosure requirements
For many planned communities and condos, resale disclosures must state the total amount of money held in reserves and provide the most recent reserve study, if any, to prospective buyers.
Governing documents may set higher standards
Your CC&Rs or bylaws can still require a reserve study or specific funding practices, even though state law does not.
Best practice: periodic studies and annual reviews
Arizona law firms and industry groups commonly recommend a full reserve study every 3–5 years, with annual reviews during budget season, to avoid funding gaps.
Types of reserve studies Arizona companies provide
Level 1 – Full reserve study
A complete physical and financial analysis: on-site inspection, component inventory, remaining useful life, and a 20–30 year funding plan.
Level 2 – Update with site visit
A refresh of your existing reserve study with a new inspection, updated costs, and revised funding recommendations.
Level 3 – Update without site visit
A financial update that uses your prior study and updated financial data to adjust funding paths between full site inspections.
Optional engineering-focused studies
For boards that want deeper structural input—especially for multi-story buildings or complex amenities—some firms offer engineer-led analyses that go beyond a standard reserve study.

When Arizona associations typically hire a reserve study company
Boards in Arizona usually bring in a reserve study firm when:
They’ve never had a professional study
The board has been relying on rough estimates or historical practice and wants a defensible long-term plan.
Sun and heat are taking a toll
Roofs, asphalt, stucco, paint, and pool areas show accelerated wear from constant sun exposure and monsoon events.
Major projects are coming up
The community is facing a roof replacement, road resurfacing, clubhouse renovation, or mechanical upgrades and needs a clear funding path.
At developer turnover
Control is shifting from the developer to owners and the board wants an independent check on reserves and long-term obligations.
Before financing or major insurance reviews
Lenders and carriers increasingly ask for reserve information when evaluating common-interest communities.
What an Arizona reserve study company delivers
While each firm has its own format, most Arizona reserve study companies provide:
On-site inspection of major components
Visual review of roofs, waterproofing, structure, exterior finishes, pavement, mechanical systems, amenities, and other shared components.
Component inventory & useful life estimates
A detailed list of common-area components, quantities, remaining useful life, and estimated replacement/repair costs.
Long-term funding plan (20–30 years)
Year-by-year projections showing recommended reserve contributions, projected expenses, and reserve balances.
Scenario comparisons
In many cases, side-by-side views of different funding strategies (e.g., steady dues vs. stepped increases vs. partial catch-up).
Board-ready PDF report
A report you can attach to budgets, share with owners, and provide to lenders or insurers.
Optional: working file / spreadsheet
Many firms also provide a working spreadsheet you can reference between formal updates.
Online reserve planning workspace
Alongside the PDF report, your reserve study is loaded into an online dashboard where your board can test what-if funding scenarios, see upcoming investment opportunities, and manage capital projects over time.

What Arizona boards say
“Our master-planned community in the East Valley has miles of private roads and several pools. We were nervous about future costs and whether dues were anywhere close to enough. Through PropFusion we compared multiple reserve study companies that already worked in Arizona. The firm we chose delivered a clear, prioritized project list and a funding plan that fit our members. Now we can show homeowners exactly why dues are changing and how it protects property values.”
“Getting three Arizona-based proposals in a couple of days saved our board weeks of outreach. We picked a firm that knew Phoenix pricing and finished the study on time for budget season.”
Arizona HOAs and condos have requested proposals through our marketplace.
Vetted reserve study professionals covering communities across Arizona
“We had never done a reserve study in 15 years. PropFusion helped us find a specialist who explained everything in plain language.”
“As a self-managed condo association in Flagstaff, we struggled to get call-backs from larger engineering firms. PropFusion changed that. We filled out one short form and received several proposals from providers who understood snow, sun, and our older building systems. The final report highlighted roof, asphalt, and balcony issues we would have missed, and gave us a step-by-step funding path that our owners could actually understand.”
Frequently asked questions
What types of communities do Arizona reserve study companies usually work with?
Most Arizona reserve study companies work with a mix of condominiums, single-family HOAs, townhome communities, age-restricted developments, and resort or golf communities. When you submit your project through PropFusion, you can indicate your property type so we only involve firms that serve communities like yours.
How do we choose between different Arizona reserve study companies?
Start by comparing three things: scope, experience, and communication. Look at whether each proposal includes an on-site inspection, a 20–30-year funding plan, and scenario analysis; check the firm’s experience with communities similar to yours; and consider how clearly they explain their approach. PropFusion makes this easier by standardizing proposal information so your board can compare options side-by-side.
How much does a reserve study typically cost in Arizona?
Costs vary based on size, complexity, and location. Smaller townhome or single-family HOAs near major metros may see proposals in the low four figures. Large, amenity-heavy or master-planned communities will pay more. The fastest way to understand pricing for your specific property is to request bids from several Arizona reserve study companies using the same basic scope.
What should we look for in an Arizona reserve study provider?
Look for firms that: have specific experience in Arizona or similar desert climates, are familiar with Arizona resale disclosure requirements, provide clear board-friendly reports and funding recommendations, are responsive and willing to answer questions at board meetings if needed.
How does PropFusion help Arizona boards and managers?
PropFusion is a marketplace, not a single reserve study company. You submit one project brief and receive multiple proposals from vetted Arizona reserve study firms. That saves you time, gives your board better pricing transparency, and makes it easier to document that you ran a fair, competitive process.
