Kansas reserve study rules in plain language
Kansas does not currently require reserve studies or reserve funding for all associations, but lenders, buyers, and best practice still push boards to document long term plans. For details, see our full Kansas Reserve Study Law Guide.
Do Kansas HOAs have to get a reserve study?
Kansas law does not mandate reserve studies statewide, but many associations still order them to satisfy lender expectations, reduce risk for board members, and avoid sudden special assessments.
How often should Kansas communities update their reserve study?
Most Kansas HOAs and condos refresh their reserve studies every 3 to 5 years, or sooner after major projects, new amenities, or big shifts in costs like roofing or paving.
What does a reserve study actually give our Kansas board?
A reserve study inventories your shared components, estimates remaining useful life and replacement costs, and lays out a 20 to 30 year funding path so you can set assessments based on data instead of guesswork.
Why use a marketplace instead of calling providers one by one?
Through PropFusion you submit one brief and receive multiple Kansas ready proposals, making it easy to compare scope, price, and timelines side by side and pick the firm that fits your community best.
Types of reserve studies Kansas 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.
Special-purpose studies
Targeted studies for specific needs like roof programs, parking lots, clubhouses, pools, or façade repairs, giving your board deep insight into one area without waiting for a full reserve cycle.

When Kansas associations typically hire a reserve study company
Boards in Kansas do not wait for a crisis. They usually bring in a reserve study firm when big decisions or funding questions are on the horizon.
Upcoming capital projects
When roofs, siding, asphalt, mechanical systems, or clubhouse renovations are coming up, boards want a clear long term funding plan instead of one off special assessments.
New board or management team
After elections or a management change, a reserve study gives new leadership an objective baseline of assets, risks, and funding needs.
Budget season and assessment changes
Before raising assessments or explaining flat contributions to owners, boards use the reserve study to justify decisions and show exactly where money will go over the next 20 to 30 years.
After major storms or repairs
Hail, wind, and freeze thaw cycles are hard on Kansas buildings. After large projects or storm damage, boards often update the study to reflect new costs and remaining life.
Developer turnover and expansions
When control passes from the developer or when new phases, amenities, or buildings come online, a fresh reserve study makes sure the component list and funding plan match the community’s real obligations.
What a Kansas reserve study company delivers
Most Kansas focused firms follow national reserve study standards and deliver practical tools your board can actually use, not just a one time report.
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.
30-year funding plan
Year-by-year projections showing recommended reserve contributions, projected expenses, and forecast reserve balances, so you can see the impact of different dues levels over time.
Scenario comparisons
Many providers show alternative funding strategies so boards can choose the path that fits owner expectations and risk tolerance.
Board-ready PDF report
A report that can be attached to budgets, resale certificates, and owner communications, and that will stand up to questions from lenders, auditors, and regulators.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a Kansas reserve study take to complete?
Most studies take a few weeks from site visit to final report, depending on community size, weather, and how quickly your board provides documents. Busy seasons and larger properties can extend timelines, which is why many Kansas boards start the process well ahead of budget season.
Do we need a Kansas based reserve study company, or is regional experience enough?
Local familiarity with Kansas weather, soil conditions, and contractor pricing is a plus, but many boards work with regional firms that do a lot of work in Kansas. The key is to choose a provider who can show Kansas or nearby projects, solid references, and a clear process.
What information will the reserve study provider need from us?
Expect to share governing documents, budgets, financial statements, past studies, maintenance records, and any construction drawings or warranties you have. The more complete your information, the more accurate the component list and funding plan.
Does PropFusion charge Kansas boards to request proposals?
No. Kansas associations can submit a single brief through PropFusion and receive multiple proposals from vetted reserve study professionals at no cost. You only pay the provider you choose to hire.
Can we use the reserve study to explain assessment changes to owners?
Yes. A clear reserve study is one of the best tools for communicating why assessments need to change. It shows upcoming projects, timing, and funding gaps in plain language so owners can see how today’s contributions prevent big surprises later.
