HOA Board Management Software for Small Communities
You Show Up for Your Community. We Show Up for You.
HOA board members give up their evenings and weekends to keep their communities running. Board Beacon gives your board one place to communicate, organize, and get things done, so you can spend less time managing chaos and more time actually leading.
Built for the Boards Behind the Community.
When a board member leaves, they take their inbox, their spreadsheets, and their institutional knowledge with them. The new member inherits a pile of email chains and a shared drive full of folders named Final Final v3. Board Beacon fixes that.
Sound Familiar?
Everything in one place. Everyone on the same page.
Decisions With a Clear Record
Hold votes with a clear record of who voted, how, and when. One board member can capture votes in real time during an in-person meeting, and votes outside of regular meetings are just as easy to conduct and document. Need to follow parliamentary procedure? Roberts Rules mode handles motions, seconders, and governance documentation.
Homeowners Who Feel Like Partners
The Transparency Portal gives homeowners their own window into board activity, on your terms. Share votes, minutes, financials, and any other information you choose to make visible. And when homeowners need to take action, like submitting a form or making a request, they can do it all in the same place. You can also easily send announcements to your entire community.
Homeowner Forms Made Simple
Easily build custom forms for architectural review requests, violation reports, maintenance requests, and more. Every submission is tracked and managed in one place. No more requests lost in someone's inbox. You choose who gets notified when forms are submitted.
Institutional Knowledge That Stays With the Board
Bylaws, CC&Rs, contracts, meeting minutes and more are saved in one place and accessible to the whole board. Document your annual processes so every new board member inherits a playbook.
Financial Transparency
Track dues and expenses, maintain your annual budget, and share your financial summary so everyone's on the same page.
A Better Way to Manage Vendors
All your vendor information and contracts stored in the platform. When a board member leaves, your vendor relationships stay.
HOA Board Software Built for Volunteer Boards, Not Corporate Boardrooms
Board Beacon is HOA board management software built for small, self-managed communities that need real governance tools without the complexity or cost of enterprise software. Most HOA boards are made up of volunteers — neighbors who ran for the board because they care about where they live, not because they have a background in property management.
Typical HOA board software was designed for professional property managers overseeing hundreds of units. Board Beacon was built for the 5-person volunteer board managing a 40-home neighborhood association with a part-time landscaper and a shared bank account.
The platform gives your board one place to run meetings and publish minutes, record every vote with a complete audit trail, store governing documents like bylaws and CC&Rs, manage homeowner requests and custom forms, track vendors and contracts, and communicate with homeowners through a built-in transparency portal.
For self-managed HOAs, staying organized and keeping homeowners informed is what separates a board that runs well from one that's constantly putting out fires. Board Beacon makes that possible without adding administrative burden to already stretched volunteers.
Built for Volunteer Boards. Priced Like It.
Most board management software was built for corporate boardrooms with enterprise budgets. Board Beacon was built for the volunteer HOA treasurer who has better things to spend association money on.
