What BaseHOA is
BaseHOA is web software for self-managed communities, combining dues collection, documents, resident communication, violations, expenses, and requests. Residents can pay dues online, review balances and payment history, submit maintenance issues or inquiries, book amenities, access documents, and contact the board through an owner portal. Boards can create invoices, organize documents with permissions, log and follow up on violations, and track request status while flagging urgent items. Expense tools categorize costs, store receipts, record recurring expenses, and generate reports. The Premium plan includes unlimited units and these management tools. It costs $29 a year when billed per month under the annual option, or $39 a month on the monthly plan. A 14-day trial is available, with no free plan. Subscriptions are month-to-month, have no setup fees or long-term contracts, and can be canceled anytime. An optional website costs 25 USD per month plus a one-time 199 USD build fee.
