3. WHAT CAN
HOA RESERVE
FUNDS BE USED
FOR?
HOA reserves are meant to be used for
big expenses. Some states, like California,
have strict laws against using reserve funds
for regular, everyday expenses. Always
reference your governing documents as well
as your state laws before allocating any
reserve funds.
In general, reserve funds expenditures often
include, but aren't limited to:
• Roof replacements
• Pool pumps
• Playground equipment
• Common area fencing
• Painting of community-associated
buildings
• Major landscaping projects
• Construction and major renovations
• Road and sidewalk resurfacing
