Oregon reserve study requirements in plain language
Oregon law expects most planned communities and condominiums to maintain a written maintenance plan, a reserve study, and a dedicated reserve account for shared elements, with the board reviewing reserves at least once a year.
Who is covered in Oregon?
Planned communities governed by ORS 94.595 and condominium associations under ORS 100.175 that adopt a written maintenance plan are expected to complete a reserve study and fund a reserve account for the components in that plan.
How often should we update our Oregon reserve study?
The board is expected to review the reserve study and maintenance plan each year and update them as conditions, costs, or components change, even if a full site inspection is done less frequently.
Who can perform the study?
Oregon statutes allow internally prepared reserve studies, but many associations hire independent reserve study professionals so lenders, buyers, and owners can rely on unbiased numbers and clear documentation.
What happens if we do nothing?
Skipping reserve planning can leave your community underfunded, invite compliance and disclosure issues, and increase the risk of large special assessments that hurt sales prices and owner confidence.
Types of reserve studies our Oregon partners offer
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.
Oregon maintenance plan and funding alignment studies
Targeted work focused on bringing your written maintenance plan, reserve schedules, and contribution levels into alignment with Oregon’s reserve expectations so your board can show a defensible, documented plan to owners and lenders.

When Oregon associations typically hire a reserve study company
Boards in Oregon do not just order a study to tick a box. They usually engage a reserve professional at key moments in the community’s life cycle.
To stay aligned with Oregon reserve requirements
Associations created under Oregon’s HOA and condo statutes are expected to maintain a reserve study, maintenance plan, and reserve account, so boards often commission updates before budget season to stay in line with the law and their own policies.
Before major exterior or building projects
Roofs, siding, windows, paving, decks, and balconies deteriorate quickly in Oregon’s wet climate. Boards use reserve studies to time these projects and avoid emergency assessments when large components reach the end of their life.
After years without an update
Many older Oregon communities have outdated or internally built spreadsheets. A professional reserve study creates a clean baseline for costs, useful life, and funding so new boards can reset expectations.
At developer turnover or when the community changes
When control passes from a developer to owners or when new phases and amenities come online, boards often order a transition or updated reserve study to confirm what was promised and what must be funded going forward.
Before financing, insurance, or resale scrutiny
Lenders and buyers increasingly ask for current reserve documentation. A recent reserve study helps Oregon boards respond quickly and defend their funding decisions.
What an Oregon reserve study company delivers
Formats differ by firm, but most Oregon reserve study providers follow national standards while accounting for local building conditions and statutes.
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.
Compliance ready reserve schedules for Oregon
Reserve schedules and narrative explanations that make it easier to demonstrate how your reserve planning supports Oregon’s maintenance plan and reserve account expectations as well as lender questionnaires.
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.

“Three Oregon proposals in under a week. The marketplace saved our board days of outreach and gave us real price transparency.”

Frequently asked questions
Do Oregon associations have to hire a reserve study company located in Oregon?
You are not strictly required to hire an Oregon based firm, but many boards prefer providers who already work in Oregon so they understand local construction, weather, and statutory nuances, and so travel costs stay reasonable.
How much do reserve studies typically cost in Oregon?
Pricing depends on size and complexity, but many Oregon associations see proposals in the low thousands for a full Level I study, with higher fees for large or complex communities. Level II and III updates usually cost less because they build on existing data.
How often should we update our reserve study in Oregon?
Best practice is to review the study and maintenance plan annually and commission a formal update with site visit every 3 to 5 years, or sooner if there are major projects, cost shocks, or changes in common elements.
What information do we need to request proposals through PropFusion?
Typically you will share basic community details such as location, number of units and buildings, age of the property, current reserve balances, any prior reserve studies, and whether you need a full study or an update. The request form walks you through each step.
Can PropFusion help if our Oregon HOA has never done a reserve study?
Yes. You can indicate that this is your first study in the brief. Providers in our network regularly work with associations starting from scratch and can help build the initial component list, cost estimates, and funding plan.
Does PropFusion charge Oregon communities for this service?
No. Oregon boards and managers can request proposals through PropFusion at no cost. You only pay the reserve study company you choose, under the scope and fee you approve.
What if our HOA already has internal spreadsheets; do we still need a professional study?
Internal spreadsheets are a useful start, but a professional reserve study brings field data, construction expertise, and external validation that owners, lenders, and insurers trust. Many Oregon communities use professional studies as the backbone and keep internal tools for day to day tracking.
