Nebraska reserve fund rules in plain language
Nebraska does not currently mandate reserve studies or minimum reserve funding, but boards are still expected to plan for long term repairs and many communities follow a 3 to 5 year reserve study cycle with annual budget reviews. For statutory details and best practices, see our Nebraska Reserve Study Law Guide.
Are reserve studies required by law in Nebraska?
No. Nebraska has no statewide statute that forces HOAs or condos to get a reserve study, but your governing documents may require one and lenders or buyers increasingly expect responsible reserve planning.
How often should Nebraska associations update their reserve study?
Most communities review reserves during each budget season and order a new or updated study every 3 to 5 years, or sooner after major projects, storms, or significant changes to common elements.
What types of communities benefit most from reserve studies in Nebraska?
Any association with shared roofs, paving, siding, or amenities benefits, but townhome and condo communities with exterior responsibilities feel the impact first if reserves are underfunded.
What happens if we skip a reserve study?
Boards that guess instead of planning risk sudden special assessments, deferred maintenance, and lower property values. A professional study gives you defendable numbers and shows owners you are taking your duty of care seriously.
Types of reserve studies Nebraska 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 issues such as roofs, asphalt and concrete, siding, or amenity upgrades when boards need focused insight without ordering a full new reserve study.

When Nebraska associations typically hire a reserve study company
Boards in Nebraska usually order a reserve study when they need more than guesswork for long term planning. Common triggers include:
Upcoming budget season
The board wants updated numbers before setting dues and reserves so they can avoid shock increases or last minute special assessments.
After major winter or storm damage
Hail, snow, and freeze and thaw cycles are hard on roofs, pavement, and exteriors. After big repair cycles, boards re baseline reserves around actual costs.
At or near developer turnover
Owners taking control from a developer want an independent assessment of long term costs and whether reserves have been properly funded so far.
Before financing, refinancing, or major projects
Lenders, buyers, and insurers may request current reserve information. A professional study makes it easier to answer questions and justify your funding plan.
When dues have been flat for years
If assessments have not changed in a long time, a reserve study helps boards show why gradual increases now may prevent painful special assessments later.
What a Nebraska reserve study company delivers
While formats differ by firm, most reserve study companies serving Nebraska provide a similar core deliverable, aligned with national standards and tuned to local conditions.
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 Nebraska boards say
“Our townhome roofs were aging fast after a few brutal winters. The marketplace connected us with engineers who know Nebraska costs. The winning proposal was detailed, reasonably priced, and gave us a step by step path to full funding without shocking our owners.”
“Instead of cold calling firms, we had three Nebraska focused proposals in a few days. It finally felt like we could compare scope and price on equal footing.”
Nebraska HOAs and condos have requested proposals through our marketplace.

“One brief, multiple bids, and a funding plan our owners actually understood. It turned a stressful budget season into a clear decision.”
“As a small self managed association, we assumed reserve studies were only for big condos. PropFusion matched us with a firm used to working with 20 to 30 unit HOAs. They walked us through each component, and now we have a 30 year plan we can explain in plain language.”
Frequently asked questions
How much does a reserve study typically cost in Nebraska?
Smaller Nebraska associations with straightforward components may see proposals in the low thousands for a full study. Larger or more complex communities with extensive roofs, garages, or amenities will pay more. The only reliable way to know is to compare multiple proposals for the same scope.
Is a local Nebraska engineer always required for a reserve study?
The statutes do not require a Nebraska based engineer, but practical experience in similar Nebraska communities is a major advantage. Many firms that work regionally still have plenty of projects in Omaha, Lincoln, and nearby markets.
Our HOA is small. Do we really need a reserve study?
Yes, size does not change the math. Even a 10 or 20 home HOA has shared roofs, pavement, or structures that will eventually need replacement. A reserve study helps small boards avoid guesswork and make fair, transparent decisions.
How long does it take to complete a reserve study?
Most Nebraska projects take a few weeks from proposal acceptance to final report, depending on property size, access for site visits, and how quickly the board can provide financial data. Larger or more complex communities may take longer.
What information should we prepare before requesting proposals?
Have your most recent budget, reserve balance, any prior reserve study, a basic component list if available, and photos or as built plans for key areas. A clear brief helps providers price accurately and keeps change orders to a minimum.
How does using PropFusion change the process for Nebraska boards?
Instead of chasing individual vendors, you submit one brief, receive multiple Nebraska ready proposals, and get an online workspace for the final study. That means better price discovery, less admin work, and a clearer long term plan for your association.
