HOA communication

What is HOA communication?

HOA communication is a vital part of managing a homeowner association and the community it represents. Such communication can include emails, texts, forums, bulletin boards, and phone calls between HOA board members and homeowners and address everything from fee invoicing and payments to violation notices and responses, community calendars, and direct messages between neighbors. It can eliminate much of the expense and time required for paper-based communication, record-keeping, and payment systems that community organizations used in the past.

Why is HOA communication important in an HOA?

Simply stated, community requires cooperation, which requires communication. In homeowner associations, such exchanges entail everything from invoices and payments for monthly fees and assessments to an online group chat among committee members planning a neighborhood festival to a community calendar for all residents. More focused communications may be as serious as notices to individual property owners regarding alleged violations of maintenance or architectural standards and those owners’ responses, or as friendly as a group text to set up a cul-de-sac supper.
