HOA Desk – Lightweight HOA Management

Help small HOA boards ditch spreadsheets, paper letters, and scattered email

Problem

A systems engineer joined his HOA board and found administration still ran on spreadsheets, personal email, paper letters, shared drives, and information only one board member could find. Residents struggled to find governing documents, and violations and ARC requests were chaotic. He ended up building his own system.

Solution

A lightweight tool for small HOA boards or volunteer property groups: centralize governing documents, let residents submit violation appeals and architectural requests, and let the board track progress and send notices. Not a full property ERP, just the core workflows small teams actually need.

Users

Small HOA boards, volunteer property groups, self-managed condo buildings, community organizations

MVP

Upload and manage governing documents; resident submission forms for requests and appeals; board-side review and status tracking; email or in-app notices to residents; export meeting minutes and decisions

Revenue

Per-community subscription $19-49/month; tiered by unit count; self-hosted one-time license

Why now

Big HOA software targets professional property managers with high prices and heavy features, leaving small volunteer boards with almost nothing. Indie devs can assemble forms, documents, and notifications quickly.
