Board connects the association bank

How it works
Live in one billing cycle
Connect the HOA bank, collect ACH, and let the ledger run itself — each step shown at product-screenshot scale.
2 Pay
Residents pay online from their phone
Owners open the portal, see balance and due date, and pay by ACH (cards optional). Receipts land in the same place every cycle.
3 Autopay
ACH autopay on the due date
Residents turn on autopay once. Bank debit runs each cycle — no more “Did you mail the check?” threads in the treasurer inbox.
4 Ledger
Ledger & late fees on autopilot
Charges post, ACH settles Pending → Paid, grace ends, and late fees hit the unit ledger — configured from your board policy / CC&Rs.
5 Board
Board sees who’s current — Saturday morning
Collection %, aging, and late units on one screen. The next treasurer inherits books that actually balance.

Annual = 10× monthly (2 months free ≈ 17% off). Quarterly = exact 3× monthly ($75 / $150 / $225). Stripe processing is pass-through (ACH typically 0.8% capped at $5; cards ~2.9% + 30¢) plus our 1% platform fee on each resident payment. Board chooses whether residents or the HOA absorb Stripe fees.

FAQ
Questions volunteer boards ask
Straight answers for self-managed associations — not property managers.
Is this for self-managed / volunteer HOAs?
Yes. DuesBoard is built for boards without a management company — typically under ~50 units. If you need a property-manager ERP, look at AppFolio or CINC. If you need to stop chasing dues, you’re in the right place.
Do you take a percentage of dues?
Yes — a clear 1% platform fee on each online payment through the resident portal (assessments, late fees, violation fines, and other ledger charges) via Stripe Connect, plus Stripe’s own processing fees. Offline payments recorded by the board are not charged the platform fee. The HOA receives the rest. You also pay a flat SaaS subscription (Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual). No “free” plan that hides the take-rate.
Where does the money go?
Straight to the association’s connected Stripe Express account and then to the HOA bank. We never hold community funds as a balance on our platform.
Do we need our own website for Stripe Connect?
No. Each association gets a DuesBoard-hosted portal URL (https://app.duesboard.com/p/{slug}). When Stripe asks for a business website during Connect onboarding, use that portal link from Settings → Connect. Provide accurate association details and respond promptly if Stripe asks for more verification — review is case-by-case.
We’re under 50 units — which plan?
Mid-Size (less than 50 units) is the anchor for most volunteer associations — $50/mo, $150/quarter, or $500/yr. Smaller boards (<25) can start on Starter at $25/mo. Over 50 units, Community covers up to 200.
Can we still record checks and Zelle?
Yes. Offline payments post to the same per-unit ledger so aging stays accurate while owners move to ACH autopay over time.
Do I need a credit card to start?
Yes. The 14-day trial requires a card on file. You are not charged the SaaS plan until the trial ends. Cancel in Settings before day 14 and you will not be billed.
Is this legal advice or collections?
No. You configure late-fee policy from your governing documents. DuesBoard is software for billing and ledgers — not a law firm, CPA, or collections agency.
Are you a bank or lockbox?
No. DuesBoard is SaaS for volunteer boards. Resident dues are processed by Stripe through Connect Express to your association’s bank. We never hold community funds in a DuesBoard balance — only a disclosed 1% platform fee on each resident payment, separate from your SaaS subscription.
What kinds of payments are allowed?
HOA membership assessments, late fees, fines, and related association charges configured in your ledger — not donations, crowdfunding, personal P2P transfers, or unrelated commerce. That keeps the product aligned with Stripe’s platform rules and how volunteer boards actually bill.
What is the best HOA software for a self-managed board?
Look for HOA management software that starts with ACH billing, a per-unit ledger, a resident portal, and honest fees — not an AppFolio-sized ERP. DuesBoard is built for volunteer boards under ~50 units; Mid-Size adds late fees, the board suite, and HOA AI with review before anything emails a resident.
How much does HOA management software cost?
DuesBoard is flat SaaS: Starter $25/mo, Mid-Size $50/mo, Community $75/mo, plus a clear 1% platform fee on each online resident payment (Stripe processing is separate). Offline checks/Zelle recorded by the board are not charged the platform fee. 14-day trial — card required.
Is QuickBooks good for an HOA?
QuickBooks can keep books, but it is not HOA billing software on its own — no ACH autopay assessments, late-fee automation, or resident pay portal. Boards often use DuesBoard for billing and aging, then export CSV for their CPA.
