We found no statewide reserve study mandate in Alabama. The acts checked were the Alabama Uniform Condominium Act of 1991 (Ala. Code Title 35, Chapter 8A), the older Condominium Ownership Act (Title 35, Chapter 8) and the Alabama Homeowners' Association Act (Title 35, Chapter 20). The law does require reserve amounts to be shown in a condominium offering statement budget, and lets HOA members and buyers request the current budget and reserve funds.
