For homeowners associations

HOA Management Software Without the Manager Markup

Most boards pay a management company per door for software they barely touch. SoShiny gives your HOA the same tools — violations, voting, documents, directory, and a public website — at a flat, honest price you control.

Built for the way HOAs actually run

Paying per door for shelfware

Management companies bundle a clunky portal into a per-door fee, and most boards use a fraction of it. SoShiny is flat and transparent — $50/mo plus $0.50 per unit, every feature included.

Violations tracked on paper

Courtesy notice, first notice, fine — if it lives in a folder and someone’s memory, it won’t hold up. Run a real violation workflow with dated, print-ready letters.

Board turnover loses everything

When the secretary moves out, the history walks out the door. Keep documents, minutes, votes, and an audit log in one place that survives every election.
Every feature, on every plan

Every SoShiny feature, tuned for self-managed boards

Violations workflow

Escalate from courtesy notice to fine with dated records and print-ready letters on your association’s letterhead — built to match your governing documents.

Voting & ballots

Elections, budget approvals, and rule changes run as online ballots with deadlines, quorum tracking, and tamper-resistant results.

Meetings & minutes

Build agendas, record motions and resolutions with per-member votes, and generate print-ready meeting minutes that satisfy statute.

Searchable CC&Rs

Your covenants, conditions, and restrictions become instantly searchable so owners stop calling the board about paint colors and fences.

Announcements & email broadcasts

Reach every owner with announcements, an email broadcast, or the lobby/clubhouse TV display — no third-party newsletter tool required.

Free community website

Every HOA gets a public site out of the box — board, documents, events, map, and contact form. Bring your own domain anytime.
In practice

How a self-managed HOA uses SoShiny

Built around the statutes that actually govern your HOA. Florida HOAs are governed by Chapter 720 — the Homeowners’ Association Act. Whether it’s association powers (§720.303), fining procedures (§720.305), or member voting (§720.306), every action your board takes is governed by statute. SoShiny handles the documentation automatically — warning notices, meeting notices, voting records, and the audit trail all align with what the law requires.

A 240-home HOA drops its management company’s portal and stands up SoShiny itself. The treasurer imports the homeowner roster and lot list, uploads the CC&Rs and budget, and invites the rest of the board the same day.

The compliance committee finally runs violations the right way: a courtesy notice, then a first notice, then a fine — each one dated, logged, and printed on the association’s letterhead straight from the system. When a homeowner disputes a fine, the board pulls up the full timeline in seconds.

At the annual meeting, the board election and budget ratification run as online ballots with live quorum tracking, and the minutes are generated print-ready right after. The board reinvests what it used to pay per door — and owns its data for good.
