Are You SIRS-Compliant? Structural Integrity Reserve Studies for Florida Associations

Webinar questions? Contact the organizer, Elle: elle@communityfinancials.com

If you serve on the board or management team of a Florida community association, SIRS is no longer just another acronym. It is a requirement that can directly impact your budgets, reserves, and long-term planning.

Structural Integrity Reserve Studies are now a critical compliance obligation for many Florida condominiums and associations. Yet many boards are still unsure what SIRS truly requires, how it affects financial reporting, and what steps they need to take to stay compliant and avoid costly surprises.

In this live webinar, we will cut through the confusion and explain SIRS in plain, practical terms. Our expert panel will walk you through what boards need to know right now, how SIRS fits into reserve funding and inspections, and how it should be properly reflected in your financial reports.

You will learn:

  • What SIRS means for your specific community and where Florida currently stands in the compliance timeline
  • How SIRS impacts reserve funding and financial statements, including documentation and transparency best practices
  • Key legal considerations and board responsibilities you cannot afford to overlook
  • Practical next steps, from initial studies to ongoing compliance
  • Common mistakes associations make and how to avoid them
  • Answers to your real-world questions during a live Q&A with our experts

This session is designed for Florida board members, community association managers, and anyone responsible for financial oversight, compliance, or long-term planning.

    Hurricane preparedness involves much more than monitoring the forecast. Community association boards must be prepared to coordinate vendors, understand insurance implications, communicate with residents, and respond quickly once a storm passes. During this session, our panel will discuss:

    • What boards should be doing now before hurricane season begins
    • What the first 24–72 hours after a storm should look like operationally
    • Insurance considerations and documentation that can strengthen claims
    • Restoration priorities and how to prevent secondary damage
    • Legal authority and responsibilities boards have during emergency situations

    If you serve on a community association board or work with associations, this session should provide practical guidance as hurricane season approaches.

    This condo board certification course satisfies the educational requirements of the new legislation which went into effect on July 1, 2024. The new legislation states that, “Condominium association board members must take a 4-hour board member certification course with certain subjects mandated within 90-days after being elected or appointed to the board.” This course fulfills this requirement.
