The Arizona Republic (AZR) newspaper ran an article on Aug. 29, 2010, about HOA's. Readers were told to ask their HOA the following questions regarding “How stable is your HOA”? With that in mind, we wanted to share with you the financial health of MPRHOA.
AZR: Experts offered a number of suggestions for determining the financial health of a homeowners association. HOAs must provide financial documents to current homeowners and prospective homebuyers.
MPRHOA: The financials are always posted on the MPRHOA website as soon as they are approved by the budget and finance committee and board of directors. You can reference the site by going to www.mtparkranch.org , or we can provide you with a copy.
AZR: Request the association's most recent annual financial statement. Check whether there was a cash surplus or shortfall at the end of the year, whether the HOA stuck to its original budget, and what percentage of assessments was delinquent.
MPRHOA: There was a nominal surplus of funds from operations at year-end 2009, and we are expecting the same for 2010. Please note also, there will be no increase in the assessment for next year (2011); the 2011 budget has been approved with the assessment remaining at $150 semi-annually or $300 for the year. In addition, financial statements are audited annually.
AZR: Did the HOA stick to its original budget?
MPRHOA: Yes, and the budget was never amended.
AZR: What percentage of assessments were delinquent?
MPRHOA: Unlike other HOA's in the news article with delinquencies over 20%, MPRHOA is less than 1.5% at the 12/31/09 year-end (audit) and the percentage remains about the same at 6/30/10.
AZR: Make sure the HOA has completed a reserve study, which assesses how much cash must be held in reserve to cover the community's long-term repair and replacement needs for critical infrastructure?
MPRHOA: Allocation to the MPRHOA Reserve Fund is included in the annual budgeting process. The 2009 Annual Audit is on our web site under Annual Audit – go to page 8 and the caption “Note 8. Future Major Repairs…” You will see we are over 100% funded in the Reserve Fund (which means we have and will continue to meet and exceed the requirements the reserve engineers recommend). You can feel confident that MPRHOA can well meet needs that arise without having to consider something like a special assessment. The last Reserve Study was in 2006 and an update is currently being completed.
AZR: Ask for the minutes from recent board meetings and review them to look for signs of a problem. HOAs do not have to provide minutes to prospective homebuyers but often will do so. Check for discussions about an upcoming special assessment or any other serious financial issues.
MPRHOA: Monthly Board minutes are published on our web site as soon as they are approved. The financial matters discussed are routine ones and there are no indications of special assessments or any adverse financial matters. MPRHOA is financially very sound.
Please contact the office with any questions.
