HOA in a Box

Community

Most of living somewhere isn't paperwork

The parts residents open without being asked: bookings, a forum on your own site, lost-pet alerts, news and a little recognition.

A resident's portal: a banner saying two neighbors' pets are missing, then balance, requests and reservations
The community forum with categories, a pinned summer social and a thread about a power outage

Forum

A forum that belongs to the association

Not a group owned by someone who moved away. Signed-in residents only, and the thread from March is still there next March.

Your categories.

General, recommendations, buy and sell, whatever the board sets.

Ask the board.

Questions go to board members who chose to be notified.

Pin and lock.

The social stays at the top. A finished argument stops.

Board posts labeled.

An answer from the treasurer reads as one.

Remove, never erase.

Removed posts are hidden with a reason and can be restored.

Amenities

The clubhouse, booked without a phone call

Residents see what's free and request it. Your rules on notice, hours, capacity and fees are enforced, so no volunteer has to say no.

See what's free.

Taken and closed days are marked before anyone asks.

Fees posted on approval.

The fee and deposit land on the household's account, payable with dues.

Close for repairs.

Bookings inside the dates are canceled, and each household is emailed why.

The rules answer.

The software says no, so a volunteer doesn't have to.

The amenity reservation screen in the resident portal

"That time is already booked."

"Capacity is N guests."

The public lost pets page, with two alerts

Lost pets

The dog is out. Neighbors know straight away.

One tap sends her photo to every resident who opted in, and to a public page if you choose.

Photo already on file.

No writing a description while she gets further away.

Neighbors call you.

Only the contact details you tick are shared.

"She's home."

One button takes the alert down for everyone.

It's a small feature. It's also the one people remember.

What's happening

What's happening, and what was decided

News and meeting dates on the public site, so neighbors and would-be buyers both see a community that's run.

Announcements.

On the site and portal, and emailed to residents who opted in.

Meetings.

Posting the meeting gives notice. Minutes follow in the library.

Ballots.

Residents vote from the portal; results are recorded.

Board elections.

Candidates, proxies and one ballot per lot, cast by the owner.

The public news and events page, with the annual meeting and board election notice
The board's voting screen with an active ballot on pool hours

Say thank you, on the record

Yard of the Month and whatever else you recognize, published and still there next year.

Residents can recommend.

One vote per household, never their own home. No downvotes, no worst yard. The board decides.

Not a sociable neighborhood? Switch it off.

Every community feature has a switch. The software has opinions about record-keeping, and none about how chatty your neighborhood should be.

Biscuit the spaniel has got out again

The demo has a forum, a clubhouse booking and two missing pets. Sign in as a homeowner.
