Built for volunteers
Your board is three people with day jobs
Most HOA software is built for management companies and priced like it. HOA Grove is built for the treasurer running dues out of a spreadsheet and the secretary who still mails violation letters.
“Did the Hendersons pay?”
Dues live in a spreadsheet that one person maintains, cross-referenced against a bank statement once a quarter — if that.
Now: invoices generate on schedule and paid/unpaid is one glance.
“What did we approve last year?”
Architectural decisions and violation history leave with the board member who kept them in their inbox.
Now: every request and decision is numbered, filed and permanent.
“Where are the covenants?”
The same five questions get emailed to the board president every month, and the answer is a PDF attachment every time.
Now: residents self-serve documents, forms and answers.

Collect dues without chasing anybody
Set your assessment and your schedule once. HOA Grove invoices every property, emails the homeowner, accepts card and bank payments through Stripe, and shows you exactly who still owes.
- Monthly, quarterly or annual collection
- Card and US bank transfer (ACH), processed by Stripe
- Autopay, so residents set it once and forget it
- Payouts to your association’s own bank account
Violations & Architectural Review
Enforcement that leaves a record
File a violation with the photo attached and the homeowner is notified automatically. Architectural requests arrive with drawings, get discussed by the committee, and end in a decision anybody can look up years later.
- Your own violation and ARC categories
- Photos, plans and documents attached to the record
- Comment threads so the reasoning is preserved
- Numbered per community and tied to the property
Community site
The community website you never got around to
Every member gets a real home page: the latest news, the upcoming calendar, the document library and the answers to the questions they were about to email you about.
- Announcements that email members automatically
- Shared calendar for meetings, events and bookings
- Documents, forms and useful links, organized
- Passwordless magic-link sign-in for residents
AI Assistant
Answer the same question for the last time
Turn on the AI Assistant and residents can ask what the fence rules are, when the next board meeting is, or where the pool key form lives — and get an answer drawn from your community’s own posts, events, FAQs and documents.
Pricing that doesn’t punish growth
Most HOA software bills you per door
Which means every new home costs the board more for the same software. HOA Grove charges a flat price in three community sizes, and it stays flat inside each one.
| Community size | PayHOA | HOA Grove |
|---|---|---|
| 50 homes | $59/mo | $19/mo |
| 150 homes | $129/mo | $39/mo |
| 400 homes | $229/mo | $69/mo |
PayHOA’s published self-managed pricing as of August 2026, billed yearly. Go and check it — the point is not the exact figure, it is that theirs climbs with every door and ours steps up twice, ever.
Both plans cost the same whatever your door count. Pro adds email broadcasts and the AI assistant; everything else is on both. Compare plans · HOA Grove vs PayHOA · For small communities

Questions boards ask
Still stuck? Email support@hoagrove.com. Support is included at no extra charge, on both plans.
Is it really one price for the whole community?
Yes. One flat monthly price, set by the size of your community, covers every home, every resident, every board member and every feature. There is no per-unit charge, no per-admin seat and no setup fee.
What does it cost to collect dues online?
Your association receives its dues in full — nothing is deducted from what a homeowner owes you, and funds settle into your own Stripe account. The fees are paid by whoever makes the payment, on top of the dues amount: Stripe’s rate for the card or bank transfer, plus 49¢ to HOA Grove. Residents see the total before they pay, and a homeowner who pays by check avoids the fee entirely.
How do residents log in?
With a passwordless magic link emailed to them. Nothing for a homeowner to forget and nothing for a volunteer board to reset.
Does HOA Grove do accounting?
HOA Grove handles dues invoicing, collection and payment records, and exports a payment period to a spreadsheet for your bookkeeper. It is not a general ledger — communities that need full double-entry accounting keep using their existing books alongside it.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
You pick a plan and enter payment details when you are ready. Because we never took a card up front, nothing charges automatically at the end of the trial.
Can we cancel?
Any time, from your own billing settings — no phone call, no retention conversation. There is no annual contract to get out of.
We use a management company. Does that work?
Yes — a management company can hold several communities under one roof, each with its own members, dues, documents and Stripe account. See HOA Grove for property managers.
Is our data secure?
Every community’s data is scoped to that community, payment details are handled by Stripe and never stored by us, and sign-in is passwordless. More detail on the security page.
