What OurHOA is
OurHOA is web-based software for volunteer boards and self-managed homeowners associations. It brings resident communication and community operations together, with tools for announcements, maintenance requests, documents, ledgers, elections, violation tracking, architectural requests, amenity booking, vendor lists, meeting minutes, and messaging. Boards can create up to 20 public or members-only community pages and use a shared calendar with reference checklists for California, Florida, and Texas alongside community deadlines. Residents can pay dues by card or bank transfer through Stripe and authorize fixed monthly autopay after the board completes Stripe verification. Boards can export community data as a ZIP of CSV files on any plan.
The Free plan has no time limit, requires no card, and covers up to 25 homes. Pro costs $1 per home per month and Premium costs $2 per home per month; paid plans bill every home, including the first 25. Both paid plans include an AI helper that answers questions based on uploaded PDFs and rules with cited pages, plus text recognition for scanned PDFs. Premium also includes AI meeting-minute drafts and higher AI limits. The website works in a phone browser, though OurHOA has no native phone app. The company describes itself as a small independent team, not a management company.
