Yes, with some caveats. For budgets adopted on or after December 31, 2024, for associations required to obtain a structural integrity reserve study, the members can no longer vote to provide no reserves or less reserves for items listed in the study unless the division has approved an alternative funding method. While there’s some flexibility, certain reserves identified as critical in the structural integrity reserve study must be adequately funded according to the study’s recommendations.
These include:
a. Roof.
b. Structure, including load-bearing walls and other primary structural members and primary structural systems as those terms are defined in s. 627.706.
c. Fireproofing and fire protection systems.
d. Plumbing.
e. Electrical systems.
f. Waterproofing and exterior painting.
g. Windows and exterior doors.
h. Any other item that has a deferred maintenance expense or replacement cost that exceeds $10,000 and the failure to replace or maintain such item negatively affects the items listed in sub-subparagraphs a.-g., as determined by the visual inspection portion of the structural integrity reserve study.
