Beta · For board members, by board members
This is new software, built by volunteers like you.
HOAxis isn't owned by a management company or a software corporation. It's built by people who sit on HOA boards themselves — unpaid, like you — and got tired of running a community out of spreadsheets, group texts and a shoebox of old minutes.
It's in beta. That means we watch it closely, we answer every message, and it doesn't do everything yet. Some things you'll want aren't built. That is exactly what we want to hear about.
A real board member reads every piece of feedback, usually the same day.
What gets built next is decided by what boards ask for, out in the open.
Free while it's in beta, and the Free plan stays free after it for communities up to 50 homes. Your data is yours to export any time.
No sales team and no "contact us for pricing". A few AI tools will be optional paid add-ons, clearly marked.
The status quo
Your HOA deserves more than a shared spreadsheet.
Most self-managed associations run on Google Sheets, a group text, and the long memory of one volunteer who's been on the board since 2014. It works until it doesn't — until an applicant misses a deadline, a vote is challenged, or a board member resigns and takes the institutional knowledge with them.
Records scattered across six tools
Sheets for the queue, Drive for the documents, Gmail for the threads, a Doc for the bylaws. Nothing is the source of truth.
Deadlines that nobody is watching
Most states require ARC decisions within a fixed window. Miss it and the application is approved by default.
Votes that can be challenged
Show-of-hands counts, lost ballots, no record of who was eligible. One unhappy homeowner can unwind a year of decisions.
Knowledge that walks out the door
When the board president of a decade resigns, fifteen years of context resign with them.
One platform · three audiences
Purpose-built for everyone who touches the association.
HOAxis isn't a generic CRM with HOA stickers. Every screen, workflow, and permission map was built around how self-managed associations actually operate — drafted by a sitting Board President, refined in production.
For Homeowners
A portal that answers, not a form that frustrates.

For ARC committee
Review, discuss, decide — in one place.
- AI-assisted compliance summary per application
- Internal notes invisible to homeowners
- Majority voting with automatic Board hand-off
- Non-compliance investigations on the same machinery
- Per-application audit trail and Drive folder
For Board officers
The institutional memory your association has been missing.
- AI-drafted meeting minutes from your transcript
- Mass announcements with per-recipient delivery log
- Work-order pipeline + vendor COI expiry alerts
- Configurable ballot scopes, quorums, thresholds
- Field-level audit log of every change
The whole platform
Twelve modules. Free for communities up to 50 homes.
The everyday tools are free for small communities, with no limit on board members or residents. The Board plan, one flat price by community size, adds four paperwork savers: deadline reminders, notice records, board handoff and the letters library. A few AI tools will be optional add-ons, priced separately.
Non-compliance reporting
Track covenant violations from report to resolution. Photo upload, reviewer assignment, disposition tracking, reporter-anonymous communication channel.

AI advisor — board + residents
Coming later as an optional paid add-on. Residents ask "do I need to apply for X?"; board members ask covenant + governance questions. Grounded in your governing docs and local-government rules, with a monthly budget cap you control.

The ARC workflow
From submission to no-objection. Tracked, timed, defensible.
HOAxis encodes the statutory 30-day review clock most jurisdictions require — with pause/resume for needs-info, automatic Board escalation when the ARC committee reaches majority, and a permanent audit record at every step.
See the full workflow specification- 01Homeowner submits
Pre-filled form with draft codes, document upload, signature. Confirmation email with tracking link.
- 02ARC Chair starts review
Editable email draft to the homeowner; sending starts the 30-day clock and records accepted_at.
- 03Committee discusses + votes
Internal notes, AI compliance summary, per-member non_objection / object / needs_info. Pause clock on needs-info.
- 04Board hand-off on majority
When a majority of active ARC members vote the same way, the application moves to awaiting_board and notifies officers.
- 05Decision and notice
Board President issues no-objection (with optional note) or objection — homeowner gets the formal email, the clock stops, the Drive folder is finalized.
Customer story
How Noble Ridge Estates retired the spreadsheet.
We built the first version of HOAxis to solve our own ARC pain. Once it started catching deadlines we'd have missed, fielding homeowner questions at 11 PM with a covenant-grounded answer, and giving the Board a permanent audit trail — we knew every self-managed association needed this.

Security posture
Architected for stewardship.
Every HOA gets its own Postgres schema. Cross-tenant access is impossible by design, not by application-layer convention.
Read the security overviewIsolation
Schema-per-tenant
Each HOA's data lives in its own Postgres schema. The application layer routes queries by host; the database refuses cross-schema access.
Accountability
Field-level audit log
Every mutation — homeowner, staff, system — appends to an immutable audit log with before/after values.
Identity
Per-user TOTP
Staff accounts can enroll in time-based one-time-password 2FA. Symmetric lockout policy after repeated failures.
Portability
Your data is yours
Standard Postgres. CSV + JSON exports at any time. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary data formats.
Honest pricing
Free up to 50 homes. Then one flat price by size.
Communities up to 50 homes use HOAxis free. Bigger ones pay one flat monthly price set by their home count, from $29 a month, 15% off yearly. Everything is free for everyone during the beta.

Frequently asked
Answers to the questions every board asks first.
Are you a management company?
No. HOAxis is software for self-managed boards — the volunteers and elected officers who run the association themselves. Owners can pay their dues online, but the money goes straight into the association's own Stripe account and bank; HOAxis never holds it. We don't hold reserves or replace your treasurer. We give your board the tools to do those things well.
How does this compare to running on Google Sheets?
Sheets are extraordinary spreadsheets but terrible workflow systems. HOAxis tracks deadlines, enforces the 30-day clock, records every action, gates access by role, and gives homeowners a self-service portal. Spreadsheets do none of that.
Where does our data live?
In your own Postgres schema, on hosted infrastructure in US-East. No other community can reach your data: the separation is enforced at the database level, not just by application code. Your records are yours: ask us any time and we'll send you a complete copy, and a one-download export is on our roadmap.
How long does onboarding take?
Most associations are running real workflows within a week of signing on. Your community's portal is set up the same day, we help you load your property + people registry from whatever you have now (a CSV, a county dataset, or hand-typed), and your board members start the next week.
What if we already use [other vendor]?
HOAxis is built for self-managed boards, not for property-management companies. If you already pay a management firm a per-door fee, you probably don't need us. If you're a board running things yourselves with volunteer time, we save you an enormous amount of that time.
How does the AI advisor work?
The AI advisor will be an optional paid add-on, priced separately; no plan includes it. Residents ask "do I need to apply for X?" — board members ask covenant and governance questions. The advisor answers using only your governing docs and applicable local-government rules, with a monthly budget cap you control. Conversations and spending are logged, and you can switch it off at any time.
Can the platform produce our meeting minutes?
You build the agenda, capture attendance + motions live, and get a clean minutes format on every plan. AI-drafted minutes from a transcript will be an optional paid add-on: the AI fills in the narrative and never invents votes or attendees. You review, edit, approve, and archive in two clicks.
Do you handle reservations for the pool and clubhouse?
Yes. Each amenity has its own reservation rules — lead time, max length, blackout dates, who can book — and homeowners self-serve from their portal. The board sees the schedule, can override, and can suspend an amenity for maintenance.
