What features do I have access to in the dashboard?

Your dashboard access is automatically customized based on your role in the HOA:

  • Board Members Full administrative access including Accounting, Budgets & Reports, Violations, Member Management, and all approval functions.
  • Property Managers Similar access to Board Members with tools designed for managing multiple properties.
  • Homeowners Can access Payments, HOA Documents, Maintenance Requests, Message Boards, and Voting & Surveys.

All features are accessible from the unified Features Dashboard - you'll only see the tools relevant to your role. No need for separate dashboards!

Who do I contact if I have questions about my association?

Our Customer Success Team is available to answer your questions via chat, email, and 1-on-1 meetings. You can schedule meetings with our Success Team directly through the support widget inside HOA By Owners. There are no additional fees for support or 1-on-1 training sessions.

Yes! You can choose to authenticate your bank account using your online banking credentials or by using the account and routing number.

Can homeowners mail paper checks to pay their dues?

Yes! You can still accept paper checks from homeowners and record those payments in HOA By Owners. We also offer a lockbox service where paper checks are mailed to a PO BOX, scanned, and deposited electronically.
