Smarter HOA support that saves time, improves consistency, and strengthens communities.

HOA180 builds small, affordable tools that handle the busywork, homeowner questions, architectural applications, document inspection, while your board and manager keep every decision. No platform takeover. No contract that owns you.

Start with one tool. Add more if it earns it. Most communities are set up in under a week.

§1 · The 9pm question

A homeowner has a non emergency question at 9pm. Somebody answers.

Porch lights are on, the board president is at dinner, and someone still wants to know whether the patio cover needs approval. Those questions do not wait for Monday, and they should not land in a volunteer's text messages.

The 24/7 information hub answers online or over the phone, in the homeowner's own language, from your community's actual CC&Rs, rules, reserve studies, and minutes. It cites the section it pulled from. Anything it cannot answer goes straight to your manager, and the board and manager keep every decision.

$89 a month, per community. One price, no tiers, no setup fees.

Not ready to talk to anyone yet? You can start the 30 day free trial on your own documents and judge it on the questions your own homeowners ask.

Homeowner questionNo. 0347

"Can I paint my garage door charcoal gray? And do I need approval first?"

Yes, with an ARC application. Charcoal gray appears on your community's approved exterior palette (Scheme C). Garage door color changes require Architectural Review Committee approval before work begins. You can submit the two page application online, typical review time in your community is 4 days.

The HOA180 system

Not five tools. One system that runs the community's information.

The Online Assistant and the website come together for $89 a month. The rest plugs in when you need it.

§2Core services

Three HOA software tools that remove the three biggest time sinks.

Every community runs differently, so each of these works on its own. Nothing is bundled, and nothing requires switching management software.

Online Assistant, Online & phone assistant

Homeowner questions, answered from your actual documents.

$89 a month per community

An assistant trained on your community's CC&Rs, rules, reserve studies, and meeting minutes, not generic HOA advice from the internet. It answers online or over the phone, day or night, in the homeowner's own language, and cites the exact section it pulled from. Anything it can't answer goes straight to your manager.

Self managed? It is your first line. Professionally managed? It is your backup. When the office is busy, someone is out, or it is 9pm on a Sunday, the assistant is still answering.

ARC HOA, Architectural review

Architectural applications in days, not weeks.

$49 per application

Homeowners submit online in minutes. Applications arrive complete, checked against your guidelines, with a recommendation the committee can accept or override. Your board makes every call, the tool just makes sure the calls are consistent, documented, and fast.

For realtors & homebuyers

What's actually inside those 300 pages of HOA documents.

$189 per inspection

Before your buyer signs, we review the association's documents and deliver a plain English summary: financial health, rules that will affect how they live, and any red flags, pending assessments, litigation, underfunded reserves. Buyers know what they're getting into; realtors look like the pro who told them.

Why boards pick HOA180

Twelve reasons a board picks HOA180, in the order they usually ask.

01

It answers from your documents, not the internet.

Every answer cites the section of your CC&Rs, rules, or minutes it came from. How the Online Assistant works

02

It is on when the office is closed.

Nights, weekends, holidays, the week the manager is out. Web, phone, and text.

03

The board keeps every decision.

It answers what is written down. Anything that needs judgment goes to a person.

04

It speaks the homeowner's language.

Ask in Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Farsi, and it answers in kind.

05

You can see what your community is actually asking.

A board log shows recent questions and how often they come up, so notices and rules can catch up with reality.

06

It works with whatever runs your ledger.

Vantaca, AppFolio, a spreadsheet. HOA180 sits beside it. See what it works with

07

A real community website is included.

Documents, announcements, calendar, ARC form, dues, the assistant built in. See the community website

08

Live in about two days.

Upload the documents, we build and tune it, you share a link and a phone number.

09

One price for the whole association.

$89 a month, 30 day free trial, no minimum term. Less than $3 a day.

10

You are in control of what it says.

Tone, what it answers, what it hands off, which documents it uses. Changes do not need an engineer.

11

Your data stays yours.

Deletion on request, no conditions. How we handle your data

12

You can try the whole thing before you talk to us.

§3Your community, online

Your community's own website. We build it, host it, and run it.

Not a template to fill in. A complete home for your community, with the Online Assistant built in, kept current by us so no volunteer has to. Included with the $89 a month AIsk HOA membership.

Website Builder, Full community site

Everything your homeowners need, in one place we manage for you.

Your documents, community updates, events calendar, ARC applications, and the Online Assistant, all on your own domain with your community's name and look. You send the updates; we keep it current, hosted, and secure. Your board never touches code.

Three ways to run your community:

Do it all yourselves
Exhausting, easy to fall behind, and the questions never stop.
Hire a management company
Expensive, and you hand over control of your own community.
HOA180
We do the work, your board keeps control, and you add only the tools you need.
You are in control

Fully yours to manage. No engineer required.

The Online Assistant answers from the documents you give it, in the tone you pick, and hands anything it cannot answer to a person. You decide what it uses and what it says, and changes take effect without a developer, a ticket, or a release.

The board and manager keep every decision. Your data stays yours, and it is deleted on request, no conditions. How we handle your data

What the board controls

  • Which documents it answers from, CC&Rs, rules, reserve studies, minutes, whatever you upload
  • The tone it uses, so it sounds like your community and not a call center
  • What it will not answer, the topics you would rather a person handled
  • Where questions hand off, the manager, the board, or a specific inbox
  • The phone greeting, what a homeowner hears when they call
  • The website content, documents, announcements, calendar, and the ARC form
For HOA management companies

Your back office, running itself overnight.

HOA180 Manager Desk is a custom built management system for companies that run communities. Violations, architectural requests, collections, work orders, meeting notices and board reports are produced automatically from your own templates and each community's own documents. Your managers approve. No notice, fine or collection letter goes out without a person saying yes. Appointments book themselves.

  • A drive-by photo and a rule becomes a drafted notice, cited to the CC&R section, before you are back in the car.
  • Pre-lien notices with every Civil Code 5660 item, hearing notices with the 10 day lead, meeting notices 4 days ahead. California is built in.
  • Board members approve invoices, work orders and architectural requests from their phone. Every vote recorded.
  • First two users free, then $100 per user per month. Communities and homes are never billed.

Built to your workflow in four weeks, with us on the phone. Your accounting stays where it is.
