Features
Your board decides. A certified workforce does the work in between.
The short answer: HOA management software should cover three jobs: the money (dues, accounting, budgets, reports), the governance (voting, minutes, violations, architectural review) and the everyday work (requests, messages, amenities, a resident app). Rebel HOA does all three for self-managed boards, with specialist agents graded before they answer, board approval on every action, and one price per door.
Rebel HOA runs the money, the governance and the everyday requests of a self-managed community. Every specialist agent is graded against real board questions, and nothing it prepares goes out without a board member’s approval.
- Certified, not chatty. Each agent passes a live test suite before it answers a board.
- Human approval, always. The workforce drafts, recommends and prepares. The board approves every action.
- Priced per door. One flat rate per home, sized to your community.
The community’s money
Collected, kept on the books and reported to the board every month.
- Dues & Rebel Pay: Residents pay from their phone. The community receives every dollar it billed.
- HOA accounting: A real ledger built for associations, not a small-business tool bent into shape.
- Budgets & reserves: Plan the year, split the reserve, and see the plan against what was spent.
- Financial reports: The board packet and every statement, ready for the meeting.
The decisions on the record
The work a board is elected to do, kept where the next board can find it.
- Voting & elections: Ballots, quorum and results the community can trust.
- Meetings & minutes: Every agenda item carries through to its action item.
- Violations & compliance: Notices by the community’s own rules, from first letter to appeal.
- Architectural review: Requests, the files each needs, and the board’s decision in one place.
The everyday work
Requests, messages and shared spaces between residents and their board.
- Maintenance requests: From the resident’s report to the vendor to done.
- Communication: One conversation between residents and the board, and notices that land.
- Amenities & bookings: Reservations, pool forms and e-signatures without a clipboard.
- The resident app: Pay, request and vote from a phone.
What software alone never gave you
The workforce, the people behind it, and records that stay with the community.
- The certified workforce: Specialist agents, graded against real board questions, approved by you.
- Board support: Setup, switching and a team behind you. No board is on its own.
- Records you own: Every document and every dollar stays with the community.
- Security & trust: Each community’s books and messages walled off from every other’s.
Questions boards ask
What does HOA management software do for a self-managed board?
It keeps the community’s money, decisions and everyday requests in one place the whole board can see. In Rebel HOA that means dues and double-entry books, budgets and monthly reports, voting, minutes, violations and architectural review, plus repairs, messages, amenity booking and a resident app. The board makes every decision.
What features does a small self-managed HOA actually need?
Start with the work a board cannot skip: collecting dues, keeping the books, a monthly report, a record of every decision and one place for residents to reach the board. Then add what your governing documents call for, such as violation notices, architectural review and elections.
How much does HOA management software cost?
Rebel HOA charges one flat rate per home, sized to your community, and the demo works the number out for your door count. The card processing fee on dues is added to the payment, so the community receives the full amount it billed.
Does HOA software include real accounting, or just dues tracking?
Rebel Bookz is double-entry accounting. Every transaction posts balanced debits and credits to the community’s own chart of accounts, the bank feed is matched against the books, and each month is signed off against the bank’s own statement.
Does HOA software with AI act without the board’s approval?
Not in Rebel HOA. Every agent drafts, recommends and prepares the work, and a board member approves each action before anything takes effect. Each agent is graded against real board questions before it answers a community.
