CommonGround vs HOA HQ

CommonGround is HOA compliance software for volunteer boards in self-managed associations. Board members can record a possible violation from a phone with a photo, note, time and location, then have the app draft a notice. It tracks statutory deadlines, blocks specified invalid fining steps and flags protected categories with statute citations before notices go out. The maker says its versioned rule sets cover all 50 US states. Actions are timestamped and attributed in an audit trail that boards can export. Owners and fining committee members can review evidence, respond and vote through signed links without accounts, passwords or app installs. CommonGround also tracks written records requests and deadlines, and describes an owner portal with document posting and staleness checks. Its per-parcel ledger covers fines, assessments and payments; customers can continue using QuickBooks, though no direct integration is specified. Plans are $59 a month for under 50 parcels, $119 a month for 50–150 parcels and $229 a month for 150+ parcels, billed month-to-month. A 30-day trial is listed.
