Straight answers about your HOA’s rules — so your board can run it without a management company.
Ask a question about your HOA’s rules and get a straight answer — pulled from your own governing documents, with the exact section cited so you can check it yourself. Built for volunteer boards, not tech companies.
No app to learn. Works like email — ask, get a cited answer, then print or forward it to your board. The knowledge of a seasoned community manager, on demand — $39 a month, not the fee that’s often $400 a month or more. And when your longest-serving board member steps down, what they knew doesn’t walk out the door with them. Founding boards pay nothing until launch.

You volunteered for the board. You didn’t sign up to be a lawyer, an archivist, and an accountant.
Volunteer boards carry hundreds of pages of governing documents, a calendar of legal deadlines, and decisions that carry real liability — usually on top of full-time jobs, and often leaning on the one member who’s read everything.
What is Governance Intelligence?
Governance Intelligence is software that understands your community’s specific governing documents — and turns that understanding into the work of running an association.
Every HOA and condo is governed by its own stack of documents—a declaration or CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, and a decade of amendments. They’re read in a strict order of authority, and overlaid with state law.
BoardPath reads that exact stack the way a seasoned manager would—and uses it to answer questions, draft documents, and keep a board on the right side of its own rules.
Not a chatbot. Not a document folder. Software that reads your governing documents the way a seasoned manager would — in their real order of authority — and shows its sources every time.
The depth that makes an answer safe to act on.
Plenty of apps are “simple and affordable,” and plenty can now quote a section back to you. These four are what actually make a board’s answers safe to act on.
From your own CC&Rs, bylaws, and rules — ranked by which document controls. Plenty of tools can search your documents; the hard part is resolving which one wins.
Every answer is scored across multiple governance dimensions — and when a signal isn’t available, it tells you instead of guessing. You know what to trust before you act. No black box.
Decisions, history, and the “why” survive every board turnover. The next board inherits a running start, not a cold one.
Automatic OCR reads and structures your documents the day you upload them — the “scan our governing documents for us” every board wishes for.
Governance intelligence — not legal advice. BoardPath flags when a question belongs with your association’s attorney.
Answers are just the front door.
Asking your documents is the front door — not the house. Here is the full range of what BoardPath does for your board, every piece of it built from within your community’s own governing documents.
Ask anything, get a cited answer
Plain-English questions answered from your document hierarchy, with a confidence score and a counsel-review flag when it matters.
Draft it from your documents, mail it in one click
Turn any answer into a grounded notice, letter, motion, or owner package on your letterhead — then send it by US Mail without printing a thing. One-click mail is rolling out to founding boards.
Never miss a deadline — or a conflict
BoardPath turns your documents and state law into a living calendar, and flags documents that contradict each other or have fallen behind the law — before either becomes a liability.
From the notice timeline to the gavel
Agendas, packets, quorum, proxies, and balloting — the whole annual-meeting machine, back-calculated from the notice rules in your own documents.
Keep every decision, across every board
Chronicle preserves every decision and the documents behind it through turnover, hands new members a day-one orientation, and keeps your reserve-study and vendor records current.
Handle violations the same way, every time
Run a violation from first notice to resolved on the escalation steps in your own rules — the same standard applied to every owner, with a documented record if it ever reaches your attorney.
Answers go wherever your board does.
Open the app for the full workspace — or just text or email a question and get an immediate, cited answer built from within your community’s own governing documents. Your board, and your homeowners, get answers on their own — the moment they need them.
Text a question from anywhere and get a cited answer back in seconds — no app, no login.
Every association gets its own BoardPath address. Email a question; the full cited answer comes right back.
Owners get cited answers from your documents themselves — fewer repeat questions in the board’s inbox.
Send any notice or letter by US Mail in one click — printed, stamped, and posted for you, certified when required. Rolling out to founding boards.
Governance Intelligence — and only that.
BoardPath does the governance, start to finish — everything on this page. It just never touches your money. Dues, the books, and your bank account stay with the tools you already trust — and BoardPath plugs right in alongside them.
The platform self-managing boards run on. Founding boards are live now; public launch follows in Fall 2026.
Enforce your rules the same way, for every owner.
Uneven enforcement is how a violation case falls apart. BoardPath runs every violation down the escalation steps written in your own rules — the same sequence, the same standard, with a complete record if it ever reaches your attorney.
Notice steps, timing, and delivery rules vary by state and by your own documents. BoardPath follows the sequence you set and flags when a question belongs with your association’s attorney.
The difference between an answer and a guess.
Boards keep warning each other not to trust general AI with their governing documents. Here’s what ChatGPT can’t do with them — and BoardPath does on every answer.
A wrong answer about a fine or an assessment is a liability, not a typo.

Your governance advisor
Not a chatbot you have to prompt. An advisor who works ahead of you.
Steward is the keystone of BoardPath — the advisor that holds your board together. He reads your documents, watches your deadlines and your data, and reaches out before something becomes a problem. You don’t have to know the right question to ask. Steward already does.
Put Steward on your board →Built for a job where being wrong has consequences.
Governance decisions carry real liability. BoardPath is built around that — you stay in control, your records stay yours, and it never pretends to know what it can’t.
Not just AI — a credentialed manager gives your board a second read.
Software carries the everyday questions. But some calls you’d rather a person looked at. Founding boards get a Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA) available to review an answer they’d like a CMCA to weigh in on — a credentialed second read, not another model’s guess.
Advisory only — general community-management guidance, not legal advice; for legal questions we point you to an attorney. Human review is offered to founding-cohort boards and typically comes back within one business day.
Leaving your management company is easier than staying.
No data migration, no implementation project. If your board can upload a PDF, you can be running on BoardPath this afternoon.
Your records stay yours — export every decision, document, and answer anytime.
Built for the volunteers who run their own community.
Self-managing HOA and condo boards that run the community themselves, without a management company — and without flying blind. Any size: one flat price, never per-unit.
Founding price. Held throughout the founding cohort.
Join the founding cohort before public launch: pay nothing out of pocket until launch, then $39 a month, held throughout the founding cohort. At public launch the price is $59 a month — founding boards keep the $39 rate throughout the founding cohort. One management company often costs a board $400 a month or more.
One flat price, whatever your size — not per-unit like the rest of the industry. Twelve units or two thousand, you pay the same. One plan, not a tier chart — the only decision is whether it’s a fit for your board.
$0 out of pocket until launch · then $39/mo held throughout the founding cohort · $59 at public launch

- The whole platform — cited answers, drafting, deadlines, meetings, and the homeowner portal
- One flat price, whatever your size — never per-unit
- No out-of-pocket cost during the cohort
- $39/month held throughout the founding cohort — never the $59 public price

Founding spots are limited to this summer’s cohort.
Not the only decision-maker? Bring it to your board →
Opt-in, pay-per-use — never required. Transfer and estoppel packages through Closing Desk (the title company or lender who orders pays, not your association) and one-click certified or first-class mail when the law requires proof of delivery. Add them the day you need them — they never gate the platform.
Later, when your history is worth protecting: Chronicle keeps the “why” behind every past decision, so it doesn’t leave with the board member who remembered it. Add it when you’re ready — not a decision you make today.
Run your community with its own documents on your side — become a founding board.
Become a founding board →Built with the boards who needed it most.
We’re building this summer with a small founding cohort of self-managed HOA and condo boards — their real governance edge cases shape what ships next.
“Honestly, the biggest thing is we stopped tabling decisions. It used to be ‘let me check and circle back’ every single meeting. Now someone asks if we can do something and I’ve got the actual section up before they’ve finished the question.”
“It gave me my Sundays back, and I’m not even exaggerating. It’s basically a manager I can text — except I’m not writing a $400 check every month for the privilege.”
“Our last secretary did this for 22 years, and when she retired nobody knew where anything was. It was rough. This basically handed all of that back to the rest of us.”
“We fired our management company in the spring and I’ll be honest, the compliance side kept me up at night. This is the reason I’m not panicking anymore. I actually know we’re doing it right.”
“An owner got in my face at a meeting, swearing a fine broke the rules and quoting one he’d found. I pulled up the section that actually controls in maybe ten seconds. Conversation over. Felt pretty good.”
“I got voted onto the board in January with genuinely no idea what I’d signed up for. The little orientation write-up it put together caught me up in an afternoon — wish my actual job onboarded me that well.”
Founding-cohort feedback, anonymized; named testimonials at launch.
After fourteen years managing thirty-four community associations — and roughly $15 million in reserves — I kept watching the same thing: the answer was already in the documents, but finding it took an afternoon, and when a board turned over, the reasoning walked out the door. BoardPath is the tool I wish I’d had in every one of those meetings.
Closings can pay for your whole subscription.
Most communities see several closings a year — and each estoppel or transfer is a fee your association already charges. Closing Desk turns that into buyer-funded revenue: auto-drafted from your documents, certified by your officer, and paid by the title company or lender who orders it.

Before you join.
Governance intelligence is software that understands a specific community’s governing documents — declaration, bylaws, rules, amendments — and the state law around them, then turns that understanding into action: cited answers, drafted correspondence, tracked deadlines, conflict flags, and compliant board decisions. It is not generic AI and not just document storage; it reasons over your documents in their order of authority and shows its sources.
No. Answering questions is the front door. From the same workspace BoardPath drafts notices and correspondence, tracks deadlines and obligations, flags conflicts between documents, runs board meetings and elections, prepares estoppel and resale packages, tracks vendor insurance, and preserves institutional memory across board turnover — automating the work that normally falls on volunteer board members.
Yes. BoardPath runs a violation from first notice to resolved on the escalation steps in your own rules — so the same standard reaches every owner and nothing slips into a selective-enforcement problem. Each notice is drafted from your governing documents, every step is kept on the record, and an attorney-ready fact packet is assembled if a matter ever needs counsel. Certified-mail dispatch, when the law requires proof of delivery, is rolling out to founding-cohort boards. Fines and hearings follow your own rules and your state’s requirements.
Steward is BoardPath’s governance advisor — a proactive agent that reads your governing documents, watches your deadlines and data, and reaches out before something becomes a problem: confirming a stale reserve balance, building an annual-meeting timeline, flagging a provision that conflicts with current law, or requesting a vendor’s expiring insurance certificate. Steward is what makes BoardPath proactive, rather than a tool you have to remember to use.
No. BoardPath provides information grounded in your governing documents and applicable state law, with citations you can verify, and flags when a question needs a licensed attorney. For legal advice, consult your association’s attorney.
Self-managing HOA and condo boards — volunteer boards that carry the work without a management company, at any size. If your board just left a management company, or is deciding whether to, BoardPath is built for exactly that moment. One flat price whatever your size, never per-unit.
Closing Desk is a standalone, free product that produces the documents a home sale needs — estoppel and resale certificates, transfer packages, and lender questionnaires — auto-drafted from your governing documents and certified by a person, with transparent pricing and firm deadlines (the fee is waived if we’re late). It’s free to your association because the title company or lender who orders it pays — a transparent alternative to services like HomeWiseDocs.
BoardPath’s founding cohort is open before public launch: founding boards pay nothing out of pocket until launch, then $39 a month — held throughout the founding cohort. At public launch the price is $59 a month; founding boards keep the $39 rate throughout the founding cohort. It’s one plan, not a tier chart — every board gets the whole platform at one flat price, whatever your size. No credit card to start, and you can cancel anytime; your documents are always yours to export. One management company typically costs a board around $400 a month. Transfer and estoppel packages through Closing Desk are opt-in and free to your association — the title company or lender who orders pays — and never gate the platform. Apply to be considered.
