What a Florida condo association pays for a SIRS

Firms that publish SIRS prices put a Florida structural integrity reserve study between $5,000 and $30,000, rising with building size. PropFusion lists $5,000 to $8,000 for a 10 to 50 unit building and $15,000 to $25,000 or more above 300 units. FL Engineering publishes $5,000 to $30,000, and FPAT and ReservesPro both publish $5,500 to $16,500. These are published ranges, not quotes: a condo association's price comes from the proposal a licensed engineer, architect or reserve specialist writes.

The state registry lists 12,880 condo communities with 25 or more units. The share with a study on file in DBPR's SIRS database runs from 27% in the 25 to 49 units band to 41% in the 250 or more units band.

FPAT and ReservesPro publish the same $5,500 to $16,500 range, and we can't tell whether one repeats the other. The four sources agree on the low end, about $5,000 to $5,500. They disagree on the top: $16,500 at FPAT and ReservesPro, $25,000 or more at PropFusion and $30,000 at FL Engineering. No firm publishes the quotes or the building counts behind its range. We publish no cost figures from DBPR's SIRS database: the study-cost field in it isn't safe to quote.

What moves the price

The firms name the same factors. Size is the main one: PropFusion's four bands step up with unit count and stories. PropFusion adds coastal location, buildings over 10 stories, buildings over 30 years old, several buildings in one association and missing prior records. FPAT says a hurricane can add 20 to 30 percent, and, on its reserve study cost page, that milestone inspections or post-storm evaluations can add $2,200 to $5,500. ReservesPro says one firm doing both can share site visits. Ask each bidder to price the SIRS alone and together with the milestone inspection, and to say what it assumes about records and access.

A general reserve study is cheaper and isn't a SIRS. Criterium-Cromer Engineers lists $1,000 to $3,000 for a small association, $3,000 to $5,000 for a mid-size condominium and $5,000 or more for a large, multi-building or high-rise property (page undated, copyright 2026). It says these are not quotes and gives no SIRS price. The statute defines what a SIRS covers and who may perform or verify it, so compare proposals on scope as well as price (what the study covers).

What these prices can't tell you

Every firm in the table sells studies or software that sells them, so a published range is also marketing. Two of the four repeat one range, none shows the proposals behind it, and FPAT's own pages give three different ranges. A range is a place to start the conversation with a bidder. It is not a quote, and it says nothing about a building with an unusual layout, several towers or missing records. We have not seen the price any association actually paid.

Florida condo communities by size, and who has a SIRS on file

The state registry lists 12,880 condo communities with 25 or more units. How they split by size, and how many appear in DBPR's SIRS database:

SizeCommunitiesWith a SIRS on file (at least)
25 to 49 units4,6211,231 (27%)

Source: DBPR condo file Oct 3, 2026; DBPR SIRS database pulled Oct 24, 2026. Our match is by name and address, so each count is a floor. The PropFusion size bands (10 to 50, 50 to 150, 150 to 300, 300 or more units) don't line up with ours, so we show the two side by side and don't multiply them.

Getting a price for a building

Boards and managers can read how quote requests will work. Until firms sign on, ask two or three licensed Florida architects or engineers, or certified reserve specialists, for written proposals, and ask what each assumes about the milestone inspection. For the inspection itself, see published milestone inspection prices. Other ways to check a building's study are ranked on ways to check a Florida condo's SIRS. To see whether a building already has a study on file, open its page from your county or read how to check. The deadlines are on the SIRS page and in what HB 913 changed.

Questions

How much does a SIRS cost in Florida?

Four firms that publish SIRS prices put the cost between $5,000 and $30,000 depending on building size, and most of the ranges sit between $5,000 and $16,500 for a mid-size building (pages read October 24, 2026). These are published ranges, not quotes; the final price comes from the engineer's or reserve specialist's written proposal.

Is a SIRS the same as a reserve study?

No. A SIRS is a narrower study of the structure and main systems, with a reserve funding plan for them (s. 718.112(2)(g)1.-4., F.S.). Criterium-Cromer Engineers publishes $1,000 to $5,000 or more for a general reserve study and gives no separate SIRS price, so a general reserve study price does not tell you what a SIRS costs.

Who pays for the SIRS?

The statute puts the duty to have the study on the association (s. 718.112(2)(g)1., F.S.), so the cost is an association expense paid from its budget or reserves. Ask the board how the cost was funded if you are an owner or a buyer.

Can a milestone inspection lower the SIRS cost?

A milestone inspection done within the past 5 years can stand in for the visual inspection part of a SIRS (s. 718.112(2)(g)8., F.S.), and ReservesPro says one firm doing both can share site visits. Neither source says how much that saves, so ask each bidder to price the two separately and together.

How do I check whether a building already has a SIRS?

Search DBPR's SIRS database by the association's name or address, or open the building's page here, which shows whether DBPR lists a study and when it was completed. A missing listing is a question for the association, not proof that no study was done.
