Homeowner Associations
Loomio gives your board a private space to deliberate and your community a transparent record of every decision — without the endless reply-all emails and poorly-attended meetings.

It's not about your board. It's about the tools — and the gap they leave.
Nobody comes to meetings. Nobody reads the minutes. The board makes decisions in a vacuum — then residents feel blindsided and complain they weren't consulted.
What was actually decided? Who approved it? Six months later there's a dispute, and the only record is a chain of reply-alls that proves nothing — and protects no one.
Special assessments, bylaw amendments, board elections — legally, these require a minimum number of homeowners. Getting them in a room at the same time has always been nearly impossible.
A small elected board manages the community. Residents have rights — and deserve transparency. Loomio handles both.
Your 3–7 voting members get a private group for sensitive deliberations — contractor negotiations, personnel matters, financial discussions that aren't ready for the whole community yet.
All homeowners can see what the board has decided, read the reasoning, and follow along — without access to confidential board deliberations. Transparency without oversharing.
No other neighborhood platform handles this split natively.
"Loomio becomes indispensable when combined with personal interaction. Meeting minutes, agendas, decisions, objections — it's all there, creating an invaluable archive."Witchcliffe Ecovillage · 100 households · Western Australia
From board-only deliberations to full community votes — Loomio covers the whole governance cycle.
Private threads for board proposals — discuss contractor quotes, draft rule changes, and work through contentious issues before they go to the community.
Post a proposal with a deadline. Homeowners vote in their own time — no meeting required. All votes are timestamped and final.
Every proposal, vote, and outcome is searchable and dated. When a dispute arises next year, you point to the record — not a thread of emails.
Community notices, pool opening dates, roadwork alerts — a clear bulletin board that keeps residents informed without cluttering board discussions.
Circulate agendas and minutes before the meeting. Pre-approve routine items online — so in-person time is spent on conversations that actually need a room.
Maintenance, social, finance — each working group gets its own private space without cluttering the main board feed or the community view.
The one-time unlock
In many US states and under many governing documents, online HOA votes only count if your CC&Rs say they do. If yours were written in 1992, they probably don't.
The fix is a one-time charter amendment recognizing electronic voting. Yes, that amendment itself requires a supermajority — typically two-thirds of all households. It's a lift. But once it's done, every future Loomio vote is legally valid, and you never need to run a paper ballot process again.
Loomio creates the documentation a legal challenge requires: timestamped proposals, participant records showing who was notified and responded, and exportable results. Your HOA attorney will appreciate the paper trail.
Check your state's rules: California (Civil Code §4515+), Florida (Chapter 718/720), and most other states have specific provisions for electronic HOA voting. Your local CAI chapter can point you to current law.
Most successful HOA boards start small and build from there.
Start with your 3–7 board members. Run your next board decision through Loomio — a contractor quote, a policy question, anything. Build the habit of documentation before involving everyone.
Create subgroups for maintenance, social, and finance committees. Each gets its own space — and the board sees a clean summary without the operational detail.
Once the board is comfortable, expand community visibility. Invite homeowners to observe outcomes and participate in the decisions that affect them — special assessments, rule changes, community proposals.
The Starter plan ($399/yr) covers up to 30 active participants — right for most board and committee structures.
The Pro plan ($999/yr) covers unlimited members — for when you involve the full homeowner community in proposals.
Nonprofit pricing is available for qualifying HOAs: Starter from $299/yr, Pro from $499/yr.
