New Mexico reserve fund rules in plain language
New Mexico does not currently require HOAs or condos to order reserve studies or fund reserves by statute, but budgets and disclosures must show how much, if anything, is being set aside for future repairs. Most boards still treat a professional reserve study every 3 to 5 years as best practice to avoid surprises and support their fiduciary duty.
Are reserve studies mandatory for New Mexico HOAs and condos?
No. New Mexico law does not require a reserve study, but your CC&Rs might. Lenders and buyers increasingly expect a documented plan for funding major repairs, even in states without a mandate.
How often should we update a reserve study in New Mexico?
Many boards commission a full study every 3 to 5 years and review the numbers during each annual budget cycle so funding assumptions keep up with inflation and local construction costs.
Do we need a New Mexico based reserve study company?
A local mailing address is less important than real experience with New Mexico and neighbouring high desert markets. Through PropFusion, you can prioritise firms that actively work in New Mexico and understand regional climate, construction types, and cost trends.
Can a reserve study help us avoid special assessments?
Yes. A realistic, long range funding plan spreads big projects over time so you can adjust routine assessments instead of hitting owners with emergency one time charges.
Types of reserve studies New Mexico 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.
Targeted component or amenity studies
Focused studies for specific elements such as stucco and exterior finishes, roofing systems, pools and spas, elevators, or asphalt and concrete when New Mexico boards need deeper insight between full reserve cycles.

When New Mexico associations typically hire a reserve study company
Even without a legal requirement, most New Mexico boards bring in a reserve study firm at key points in their community’s life cycle.
Deadline pressure from governing documents
Many declarations require periodic reserve reviews. Boards often commission a new study when internal deadlines or disclosure dates are approaching.
Major projects on the horizon
When roofs, stucco, asphalt, or mechanical systems are nearing replacement, boards want a clear funding path instead of relying on rough estimates or last minute special assessments.
Long gap since the last study
If the community has never had a formal reserve study or the last one is more than 5 to 7 years old, a fresh analysis gives the current board a defensible baseline.
Turnover from developer to owners
As control shifts from the developer to the owners, a transition or turnover study helps identify unfunded obligations and correct problems before they become long term budget issues.
Lenders, buyers, or insurers asking questions
Mortgage underwriters, prospective buyers, and insurance carriers increasingly ask about reserves. A current reserve study makes it easier to document your plan and negotiate better terms.
What a New Mexico reserve study company delivers
Most New Mexico reserve study firms follow national standards and now design their work around the state’s capital reserve requirements. In practice, that typically means:
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 model alternate funding strategies, such as steady annual increases, step ups, or catch up plans, so your board can choose a path that fits owner expectations and local inflation.
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
Do New Mexico HOAs have to get a reserve study by law?
No. New Mexico has no statewide statute that forces HOAs or condos to order a reserve study or fund reserves, but many governing documents do, and disclosure laws still require you to show what is being reserved for future repairs.
How often should our association update a reserve study in New Mexico?
Best practice for communities in New Mexico is to review the study every year during budget season and commission a full update with site visit every 3 to 5 years, or sooner after major projects or big shifts in costs.
What does a reserve study typically cost in New Mexico?
Pricing depends on property type, size, and complexity. Smaller townhome or single family HOAs may see full study proposals in the low thousands, while large or complex communities will pay more. The most reliable way to benchmark cost is to compare multiple proposals for the same scope.
Can we hire a reserve study provider based outside New Mexico?
Yes, as long as the firm works regularly in New Mexico or similar high desert markets and understands local construction practices and cost drivers. Through PropFusion, you can prioritise providers with proven New Mexico experience.
What information should we prepare before requesting reserve study proposals?
Have your governing documents, recent budgets, reserve statements, a list of major components or prior studies, and rough project history ready. These details help providers scope the work accurately and give you tighter, more comparable bids.
How does PropFusion choose which New Mexico providers to show us?
We work with vetted reserve study professionals who meet industry standards, carry appropriate credentials, and actively serve New Mexico. Your brief is matched based on property type, size, and location so you only review relevant proposals.
Does PropFusion charge New Mexico associations for this service?
No. Requesting proposals through PropFusion is free for HOAs and condo associations. Reserve study providers pay us, so you can focus on comparing scope, quality, and price without extra platform fees.
