Public offering statement; general provisions

Contents of the public offering statement a declarant must deliver under the Uniform Planned Community Act. The budget disclosures require an affirmative statement of the reserve amount or that there is no amount, and a description of any reserve provisions or, where none are made, a statement to that effect. This is a declarant disclosure duty at the point of sale, not a continuing obligation of the association, and Pennsylvania imposes no reserve study requirement on associations anywhere in the chapter.
