The independent reference for U.S. homeowners associations

Our mission

Buying or selling a home in an HOA-governed community comes with a layer of complexity most online listings completely ignore. Monthly fees, special-assessment history, pet policies, rental restrictions, architectural rules, and state-specific homeowner-rights laws all matter — sometimes more than the price or square footage of the home itself.

We exist to make that information findable, comparable, and trustworthy. Every HOA fee, rule, and policy on this site is traceable to a primary source: recorded covenants, county property-appraiser files, state legislation trackers, or direct HOA confirmation. When something can't be verified, we say so.

What we publish

• Community pages. A dedicated page for each HOA we cover, with fee, amenity, rental policy, pet policy, and contact information. Each page links to the corresponding city, county, and state for context.
• State, county, and city overviews. Aggregate statistics (median fee, distribution, top communities) so buyers can compare neighborhoods at a glance.
• Fee-trend analysis. Historical HOA fee movements from 2019 to today across all 50 states, with methodology disclosed.
• Legislative coverage. When a state passes, amends, or proposes HOA legislation, we publish a plain-language explainer of what changes for homeowners.
• Articles and guides. Evergreen explainers on reserve funds, architectural review, special assessments, and the rights homeowners have under federal and state law.

Coverage

HOA's HUB currently indexes 3,893 homeowners associations across 50 U.S. states and 1,831 cities. Coverage is densest in Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, and the Carolinas (where HOAs are most prevalent) and growing in the Northeast and Mountain West.

If your community isn't listed yet, you can submit it via our submission form — we manually review every submission before publishing.

How we work

We're a small editorial team that researches, writes, and fact-checks every page in-house. We don't accept paid placements: a community can't pay to be listed, ranked higher, or have negative information removed. Sponsored content, if ever published, will be labelled "Sponsored" at the top of the page.

We do earn revenue through clearly-labeled affiliate partnerships (mortgage, home-insurance, home-warranty providers). None of these influence what we publish.

The full methodology, sourcing rules, corrections policy, and AI-disclosure are documented at Editorial Standards.

Independence

HOA's HUB is independently owned and operated. We are not affiliated with any HOA management company, real-estate brokerage, builder, or lender. Our editorial decisions are made independently of our business relationships.
