About Us

Community Reserve Planning

Helping hundreds of local Communities prepare for future capital replacement expenses using our Reserve Study as a guide.

Facts:

The State of Ohio Condominium Association (O.R.C. 5311) and Homeowner Association (O.R.C. 5312) laws require the Board of Directors to collect and hold reserves sufficient to cover the future costs of all Community Capital Assets in order to avoid the need for Special Assessments. In order for the Board to comply with these statutes, it must have a complete list of Community Assets, know/obtain their current replacement values for short term expected expenditures, and project long term expected expenditures to ensure an accurate plan going forward. The Board is not required to obtain a firm to provide a Reserve Study, however, most reputable Law Firms familiar with Association Law will strongly recommend the Board hire a properly credentialed and qualified specialist to provide a Reserve Study.
The standards set by the C.A.I. (Community Association Institute) and N.R.S.S. (National Reserve Study Standards) require a Reserve Study contain not only the information required by the State of Ohio, but also additional information and data (that may meet other state statutes) as these are national standards. These additional Reserve Study standards are a basic reason the term "Reserve Study" is not used within the Ohio Revised Code.
A Reserve Study is a financial report, not an engineering report.
A Reserve Study can often be "Personalized" to fit the unique needs of the Community.
A CRS Reserve Study meets and exceeds all the requirements set by the State of Ohio, the N.R.S.S., the C.A.I. and the A.P.R.A. (Association of Professional Reserve Analysts).
CRS is a local Ohio Reserve Study provider and carries all available Reserve Study credentials (Reserve Specialist, Professional Reserve Analyst) from both the C.A.I./N.R.S.S., and the A.P.R.A.
CRS has an A+ rating with the BBB, is a Business Partner with the C.A.I., and a Member in good standing with the C.A.I., the A.P.R.A., the Stow-Monroe Falls Chamber of Commerce, and is a Veteran Owned and Operated Ohio Company.
