HOA Lens — Homeowner Litigation Report
Searchable litigation and lien risk reports for US HOA homeowners
- Problem
- US HOAs routinely sue homeowners and file liens, but the records are scattered across county court dockets and land registries. Homeowners and buyers have no way to know an HOA's litigation history before purchasing or fighting a fine. Someone already manually indexed court dockets and county liens for every US HOA, proving the data is reachable but nobody has turned it into a consumer product.
- Solution
- Enter an address or HOA name and get an aggregated history of lawsuits, liens, and violation fines, plus a risk score and negotiation talking points. Ongoing monitoring pushes alerts when new records appear, so owners and buyers stay informed during due diligence or disputes.
- Users
- US homebuyers, HOA homeowners, real estate agents, and homeowner-rights attorneys
- MVP
- Cover 2-3 states in dense metros from county open data; address search with HOA matching; lawsuit/lien timeline view; risk score plus PDF report export; email alert subscription
- Revenue
- One-off deep report purchase ($19-49); monthly monitoring subscription ($9/mo); batch API billing for agents and attorneys
- Why now
- County data is increasingly open and scrapeable, and LLMs make summarizing unstructured dockets feasible. Compliance-sensitive data plays like this scare off big players, so an indie can win by going deep on a few counties.
