Reserve Study

Reserve Health

0%
fair

Our reserves are at 57% of the recommended level ($887k on hand vs $1.55M needed). This means we're in a fair position, but not fully funded.

What this means: Think of reserves like a savings account for big repairs. We have about half of what experts recommend, so we may need special assessments for major projects.

per month goes to reserves

Reserves$53.53

In 2024, about $53.53 per month from each home went into long-term reserves to protect the community from large special assessments.

Critical: 2025 Budget Issue

The 2025 budget shows $0 allocated to reserves while we need $77k annually. This could worsen our funding deficit.

Multiple components are critically underfunded: Mailboxes (0%), Tot Lot (5%), and Fencing (8%). These may require special assessments.

What this means: Red and yellow items don't have enough money saved for future repairs. When they need fixing, you might get a special bill.
