About HOAxis

Built by a board member, for board members.

HOAxis was not born in a venture-backed accelerator with a deck full of HOA market research. It was built by a sitting Board President who got tired of running their architectural review committee out of a spreadsheet and a group chat.

Origin

Why this exists.

Noble Ridge Estates is a small community in Concord Township, Lake County, Ohio. Like most self-managed associations of its size, it has a volunteer board, an architectural review committee, and a long memory measured in the tenure of its most senior member.

In 2024 the board found itself doing what every self-managed board does — running ARC applications out of a Google Sheet, tracking deadlines in a head, ferrying documents through Gmail attachments, and trying to remember which homeowner had been told what. The board president, a software engineer by trade, did the thing software engineers do: he started writing something better.

The first version was a single Apps Script behind a single web form. The second was a Next.js app behind a real database. The third — the one we're selling today — is the meta-SaaS that allows every self-managed HOA in the country to run on the same platform Noble Ridge does, with its own data, its own subdomain, its own audit log, completely separate from anyone else's.

We named it HOAxis because we needed a name and the founder's neighbor said it sounded like a real company. We're inclined to agree.

Operating principles

The things we believe — and refuse to compromise on.

01

Every tenant gets the whole platform.

No feature gates pretending to be tiers. A 24-home pocket community gets the same software a 1,200-door master association does. Pricing scales by size, not by what you're allowed to use.

02

Your data lives in its own schema.

Schema-per-tenant Postgres isolation. Cross-tenant access is impossible at the database level — not enforced by application code. When you leave, we export everything to standard formats.

03

Audit logs are not optional.

Every mutation — homeowner, staff, system — appends to an immutable, field-level audit log. Boards that take stewardship seriously deserve to be able to prove what happened, and when.

04

Built by people who run associations.

Every workflow in HOAxis was designed by someone holding the gavel. We don't guess at how HOAs work — we operate one.

“The first time HOAxis pinged me at 6 AM to say an ARC application had three days left on the clock, I knew we'd never go back to the spreadsheet.”
