Run your neighborhood without a city hall favour.
Member rolls, dues, programming, city advocacy, and board records in one home. Built for civic associations that represent the whole neighborhood, not just the homeowners.
The work no property management company understands.
Civic associations cover everyone in the neighborhood, not just the dues-paying members. That changes how dues, communications, and advocacy work. Here's what we collapsed.
Homeowners and renters, in one roster.
HOA platforms assume one owner per door. Civic associations represent everyone on the block, including renters who rotate every 18 months. We let your board track residents as residents, not as title-holders.
- Member directory tracks residents per address, not titles
- Move-in / move-out without disturbing the household record
- Dues optional per resident (sliding-scale supported)
- Renter-facing communication separated from owner notices
The paper trail city hall actually reads.
Civic associations exist to represent residents to the city. Your board's positions on the rezoning, the speed-bump petition, the bike lane, all need a defensible record of how the membership decided. We make that bulletproof.
- Polls and surveys with verified-resident gating
- Motions, votes, and resident input archived per topic
- Position-letter templates with cited member counts
- Meeting minutes export (PDF, council-ready)
Programs the whole block actually shows up to.
Civic associations run festivals, block parties, advocacy meetings, the spring cleanup, the summer concert. Programming runs hot from May to October and goes quiet in February. Your platform needs to handle both seasons without making you pay year-round for capacity you don't use.
- Paid event ticketing for the summer festival
- Volunteer shifts (cleanup days, concert setup, table watch)
- RSVP-only for low-stakes meetings
- Sponsorship flow for the festival (replace 30% of dues)
What a civic board does on a Tuesday.
Same four things every board runs on. Collapse them into one home so volunteer hours actually move the neighborhood forward.
Annual dues, sliding-scale.
Optional per resident, autopay renews each year.
Festival. Block party. Cleanup.
One page each. Tickets, capacity, volunteer shifts.
Polls. Petitions. Council letters.
Verified-resident input. Paper trail for the city.
Decisions, archived.
AGM voting, motions, transition kit. Records stay.
We used to draft a council position letter with “we represent 1,400 residents” and hope city hall took our word for it. Now the membership data and the poll results are one PDF export away. Council reads us differently now.
Questions civic boards ask first.
Anything not here, drop us a line. We answer in plain English.
We're not an HOA. Will this work for us?
Yes. Civic associations are our second-largest segment by design. The platform tracks residents per address rather than title-holders, supports sliding-scale dues, and separates renter communications from owner-only notices. HOA features that don't apply to you don't render.
How does the verified-resident polling work?
When residents join (free), we link them to an address. Polls and surveys in the Governance Pack can be gated on verified-resident status so your council position letter cites real residents, not internet bots. Export the result as a PDF with the verified-count footer.
Some residents are dues-paying members, some aren't. Can we treat them differently?
Yes. The directory tracks each resident as either a member (dues current) or a resident (not paying). Communications can be filtered by either group. Most boards send neighborhood notices to all residents and member-only benefits to members.
Can we manage our advocacy archive on the platform?
The Governance Pack archives every motion, poll, and position. You can tag entries by topic (rezoning, transit, parks, etc.) and export the archive for council meetings. It's not a CRM for council relationships, but it is the paper trail of how the association decided.
What if we run a summer festival that's our biggest event?
The Engagement Pack handles paid ticketing, capacity, and volunteer shifts. The Earn Pack adds sponsor placement on the event page, so you can sell sponsorship to the local bank or grocery and replace 30% of your dues. Both packs are switch-on, switch-off per month.
We're over 2,500 residents. Will you still take us?
The 2,500-household cap is on Core's sticker price. Above that we move to Federation tier (custom pricing) which adds multi-board support, custom Stripe splits, and a dedicated success manager. Contact us if you're in this range.
