Is Your HOA Reserve Fund Actually Compliant?

373,000 HOAs govern housing for 78 million Americans. Over 100,000 are self-managed by volunteer boards — most using QuickBooks or spreadsheets with no idea whether their reserve funds meet state law. BoardStack tracks your compliance, prevents fund commingling, and protects your board from personal liability.

  • State-specific compliance
  • No per-unit pricing
  • True fund accounting, no commingling

Built for volunteer boards, not property managers

What the app prevents

Over 100,000 self-managed HOAs still run on spreadsheets and QuickBooks.

  • 01

    QuickBooks cannot separate operating and reserve funds. That's commingling — and in states like Florida, New Jersey, and Maryland, it's a compliance violation that exposes board members to personal fines up to $10,000.

  • 02

    Financial complexity is the #1 reason volunteer boards hire professional management companies. 58% of boards that made the switch cited finances as the trigger. The right software keeps your board independent.

  • 03

    Florida banned reserve waivers for structural components. New Jersey requires baseline funding that never drops below zero. Fannie Mae is raising its reserve floor to 15% in August 2026. Do you know your state's rules?

Here's how BoardStack fixes it.
