HOA management features — dues, maintenance, documents & more.
Premium HOA software for self-managed boards: collect dues online, track maintenance, store CC&Rs, message residents, run formal elections, and manage violations — modern all-in-one ops at $0 forever or $29/mo flat.
Good Neighbor = complete Good Neighbor platform · Board Automation = automation, AI, and email broadcasts
Good Neighbor — $0 forever, no subscription. Online payments include KindHOA's platform fee plus Stripe processing; Connect account costs are billed by Stripe to your dues deposit account.
Every neighbor gets a password-protected home base.
Residents do not need an account to pay — an emailed invoice link is enough for ACH or card. Creating a free account unlocks the neighbor directory, community feed, document library, payment history, maintenance and ARC tracking, and Formal Election ballots. Sign in on the web or native iOS and Android apps.
Boards connect the HOA bank through Stripe Connect so online dues deposit directly to the association account; KindHOA never stores card numbers. Good Neighbor includes the full resident portal. Board Automation adds email broadcasts, community-wide polls, and 24/7 Smart Assistant (AI — not human support).

The court is booked. A neighbor did it.
Neighbors open Calendar, tap Reserve an amenity, and take an open hour. The board sets the hours, how far ahead, and how many hours one home may hold in a week.
- A taken hour says Reserved by a neighbor. Their name stays off the screen.
- Close the court for maintenance, and the people who had that time are told.
- Print one day for the fence. KindHOA does not charge a rental fee.
