State requirements
State guidance only where the underlying authority is verified.
Ballast separates published state information from professional-service availability. Professional reserve-study work is available nationwide except Nevada; a state page says what the law requires, not whether an engagement has been accepted. Each engagement remains subject to confirmed eligibility, professional capacity, scope, and an operative agreement.
Where verified authority is absent, Ballast reports the state-law question as not determined rather than inventing an answer, and that silence never becomes a refusal to serve.
How it works
- 01
Authority
Verify before publishing
Requirements, citations, qualifications, and effective dates must come from reviewed source data.
- 02
Availability
Professional work is available nationwide except Nevada
Full Reserve Study and Reserve Study Update are commercially available in every U.S. state and the District of Columbia except Nevada. Standing Check and Study Check are available nationwide.
- 03
Nevada
Nevada professional fulfillment is off
Ballast does not accept Nevada reserve-study engagements unless the Nevada reserve study specialist registration or a documented statutory exception is satisfied. A Nevada scope request is refused before any property information is recorded.
- 04
Not determined
Missing state content is not a refusal to serve
Where Ballast has not verified a state's authority, the affected state-law finding stays not determined and says so. Service availability is a separate question and is answered separately.
- 05
Qualification
Some statutory outcomes carry their own gate
A Florida SIRS, a Hawaii periodic independent review, and the Maryland, New Jersey, Tennessee, Washington, Delaware and Colorado turnover statutory studies each require a qualified preparer or independent reviewer. That gate belongs to the engagement, not to the state.
