For treasurers
Billing season shouldn’t feel like a second job.
Volunteer boards inherit the same broken stack every cycle — mail, peer-to-peer apps, and a spreadsheet that only one person understands.
Mailbox checks
Every billing cycle starts with “Did you mail it?” emails.
Venmo & Zelle
Personal accounts, no ledger, and a mess when the treasurer rotates.
Spreadsheet books
Formulas break. Opening balances drift. The next board inherits chaos.
Late fees ignored
Policy exists in the CC&Rs — nobody has time to enforce it by hand.
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.
See the resident portal3 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.

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.

Board sees who’s current — Saturday morning
Collection %, aging, and late units on one screen. The next treasurer inherits books that actually balance.
Start collecting duesProduct
Dues first. Suite when you need it.
Everything a volunteer board needs to stop chasing money — without an AppFolio-sized product.
Dues core — every plan
ACH-first dues & autopay
Monthly, quarterly, or annual assessments. Autopay on the due date. ACH is the default rail so large assessments don’t burn reserves on card fees.
Late fees on autopilot
Grace period plus flat or % fee from your board policy. Posted to the ledger automatically — copy stays “per your CC&Rs,” not legal advice.
Per-unit ledger
Charges, payments, credits, adjustments, and aging in one place. The next treasurer inherits books that actually balance.
Resident pay portal
Balance, pay, receipts, history, and autopay on/off (per board policy). Cuts the “what do I owe?” inbox in half.
Stripe Connect payouts
Express onboarding to the HOA bank. Residents pay → Stripe → your association account. A clear 1% platform fee on each resident payment keeps DuesBoard running (Stripe processing is separate). You are software — not a lockbox.
CSV import & export
Import units and opening balances. Export the ledger anytime. Offline checks and Zelle still get recorded so the books stay complete.
Board plan and up
Same login. Full board suite.
After dues are humming, keep announcements, documents, calendar, violations, work orders, and ACC requests where residents already pay.
Announcements
Post once — every owner sees it in the same login they use to pay.
Document library
CC&Rs, budgets, and meeting packets in one searchable place.
Board calendar
Meetings, deadlines, and dues dates on one shared board view.
Violations → ledger
Fines post to the same unit ledger as dues — aging stays honest.
Work orders
Track common-area fixes from open to done without a side spreadsheet.
ACC requests
Architectural requests with status owners can check themselves.

Flat plans. Clear 1% platform fee.

Annual = 10× monthly (2 months free ≈ 17% off). Quarterly = slight discount vs 3× monthly. 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.
Why boards switch
Cheapest among full-featured paid suites.
Worked example: 50 units × $250/unit/quarter = $50,000/yr collected online. Totals = SaaS + platform take (Stripe ACH processing excluded — same rail for Connect apps).
| Stack (50 units · $250/qtr) | Est. annual cost |
|---|---|
| KindHOA Good Neighbor $0 + 1% ACH | ~$500 (feature limits) |
| AffordableHOA $49/mo + $0 platform | ~$588 |
| KindHOA Board Automation $29 + 0.8% ACH | ~$748 |
| DuesBoard (Board plan) $19/mo + 1% | ~$728 |
| PayHOA 26–50 (~$59/mo yr) + $2.45 ACH | ~$1,198 |
| NeibrPay (custom >20) + ~1% | Custom + ~$500 |
Scenario math
Volume: 50 × $250 × 4 = $50,000/yr · 200 ACH payments. DuesBoard: SaaS $228 ($19×12) + platform 1% = $500 → $728/yr. Beats KindHOA paid (~$748) and PayHOA (~$1,198) among full-featured paid suites with recurring dues automation. KindHOA’s $0 plan and AffordableHOA ($0 platform %) can cost less on paper — we show them above for honesty.

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 resident dues payment via Stripe Connect, plus Stripe’s own processing fees. 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.
We’re under 50 units — which plan?
Board (up to 50 units) is the anchor for most volunteer associations — $19/mo, $54/quarter, or $190/yr. Smaller boards (≤25) can start on Dues at $15/mo. Over 50 units, Community covers up to 100.
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.
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.
