We found no statewide reserve study mandate in Pennsylvania. The acts checked were the Uniform Condominium Act (68 Pa.C.S. chapters 31 to 34), the Real Estate Cooperative Act (chapters 41 to 44) and the Uniform Planned Community Act (chapters 51 to 54). They let associations budget for reserves and require reserve amounts to be disclosed on resale, but they do not mention a reserve study.
