Missouri reserve fund rules in plain language
Missouri does not currently require reserve studies by statute, but associations must disclose reserve balances and are strongly encouraged to maintain a long-term funding plan that protects owners from surprise special assessments.
Are reserve studies legally required in Missouri?
No. Missouri law allows associations to adopt budgets that include reserves and requires disclosure of reserve amounts in certain resale documents, but it does not mandate that HOAs or condos perform a formal reserve study or fund reserves to a specific level.
How often should Missouri communities update their reserve study?
Most Missouri communities treat every 3 to 5 years as a practical baseline, with more frequent updates as the property ages or after major projects, storms, or insurance changes.
If there is no mandate, why do Missouri boards still order reserve studies?
Because a reserve study is the easiest way to show owners and lenders that the board is acting prudently, planning for predictable capital projects, and reducing the risk of emergency special assessments or deferred maintenance that drags down property values.
Do Missouri condos and HOAs need a Missouri-based provider?
Not strictly, but boards should look for firms that actively work in Missouri and understand regional construction practices, freeze-thaw cycles, storm damage, and local bidding costs around Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia, and lake communities.
Types of reserve studies Missouri 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
Special-purpose studies for roofs, clubhouses, garages, decks, lakes, or other major assets when boards need deeper analysis than the standard reserve cycle, often used after storms, flooding, or structural concerns in Missouri’s changing climate.

When Missouri associations typically hire a reserve study company
Even without a legal mandate, Missouri boards lean on reserve studies whenever they need clarity, credibility, or leverage with owners, lenders and insurers.
Sensing underfunded reserves
Dues feel high but reserves still look thin. A reserve study gives the board a defensible target and a clear path to closing funding gaps over time.
Preparing for major projects
Roof replacements, clubhouse renovations, paving, garage repairs, and lake or stormwater work are coming up and the board wants to avoid last-minute special assessments.
After storms, floods, or big repairs
Missouri’s storms, freeze-thaw cycles, and flooding can accelerate wear. Boards often order an update after large insurance claims or capital projects to re-baseline the plan.
Turnover from developer to owners
New owner-controlled boards use a reserve study to confirm that the community was funded correctly and to identify any early defects or shortfalls.
Before financing, refinancing, or sales
Lenders, buyers, and insurers increasingly scrutinize reserve funding. An up-to-date study and funding plan can make transactions smoother and reduce uncomfortable surprises.
What a Missouri reserve study company delivers
Most firms serving Missouri follow national reserve study standards while tailoring assumptions to local conditions. Your proposals will vary by provider, but you can expect at least the following.
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.

What Missouri boards say
“We had put off a reserve study for years because it felt optional in Missouri. The marketplace made it painless, and now we have a funding plan we can defend to owners and lenders.”
“Submitting one brief through the marketplace brought us three Missouri focused proposals in a week. Our board understood our options and picked a firm that fit our budget and timeline.”
Missouri HOAs and condos have requested proposals through our marketplace.
vetted reserve study professionals covering communities across Missouri.
“Instead of guessing whether our reserves were enough, we used PropFusion to compare bids and ended up with a clear 30 year plan the owners could actually understand.”
“Our small Kansas City townhome community assumed a reserve study was only for big associations. Seeing multiple bids side by side showed us it was affordable and probably the best decision this board has made.”
Frequently asked questions
How much does a reserve study typically cost in Missouri?
Pricing depends on your property type, size, and complexity. Smaller HOAs or condo buildings may see proposals in the low thousands for a full study, while large multi phase communities, high rises, or resort properties will pay more. The only reliable way to judge price is to compare multiple proposals for the same scope.
Do we need a Missouri based reserve study company, or is regional experience enough?
You do not have to hire a firm physically located in Missouri, but you should prioritize providers who routinely work in Missouri or neighboring states and understand local climate, construction methods, contractor pricing, and permitting realities in your region.
Does PropFusion charge Missouri communities for using the marketplace?
No. Submitting your project brief and receiving proposals from vetted reserve study professionals is free for HOAs and condo associations. You only pay the provider you choose, under the terms you agree together.
What information does our board need to provide before the study?
You will typically share governing documents, recent financial statements, prior reserve studies, maintenance histories and any plans for major changes, such as expansions or amenities.
