Answer board questions with the statute, not a guess.

When a resident serves a records request under Ch. 720.303(5), you have 10 business days. When you convene a fine hearing committee under 720.305(2), the composition rule is specific. HOAStream quotes the statute and your declaration side-by-side so the board acts from the text, not memory.

The budget math (between attorney calls)

Routine recurring questions about Ch. 720 records-inspection timing, ARC turnaround, or quorum rules don't need a new outside-counsel call every time they come up. HOAStream is a flat-monthly subscription positioned between do-it-from-memory and call-the-attorney; the exact tier lands after our pre-launch customer-research round (see pricing). Boards that want early-access pricing can join the waitlist below.

Why boards use HOAStream between attorney calls

  • Board-turnover insurance. Next year's treasurer gets the same cited answers the current treasurer gets. No re-teaching every January.
  • Same-day resident replies. Forward a resident the source paragraph plus the Ch. 720 citation and the complaint de-escalates faster than a committee meeting.
  • No UPL exposure. HOAStream never interprets your declaration or recommends action. The banned-word linter rejects advice-framing at the output level. Your retained attorney remains the decision-maker on anything non-routine.
  • Your documents, your voice. Answers reference your Declaration of Covenants, Bylaws, and ACC standards, not generic HOA advice.

Does HOAStream replace our management software?

No. HOAStream is a narrow statute-Q&A layerthat runs alongside whatever property-management platform your association already uses, PayHOA, TownSq, AppFolio HOA, Vantaca (including HOAi back-office automation), or a traditional desktop tool. Your accounting, dues collection, meeting minutes, and resident portal stay where they are. HOAStream handles the recurring statute-citation questions those tools were never designed to answer.

If your board is happy with the current platform, HOAStream bolts onto it. If your board is evaluating a new platform, HOAStream is the legal-brain layer that the evaluation comparison matrix doesn’t usually include.

What you get after the email

  1. A 4-minute walkthrough tailored for boards, records requests, fine hearings, assessment votes, and declaration-vintage statute questions.
  2. A one-page brief your attorney can mark up before your board signs off.
  3. An invitation to the pre-launch waitlist with early-access pricing once the tier is finalized.

The UPL discipline every answer inherits

HOAStream provides legal information, not legal advice. Outputs are factual statute and document text. The assistant never evaluates a board's specific situation or recommends action; advice-seeking questions get redirected to the association's retained attorney or management company.

Board-member contact information is never scraped from member rosters, registries, or community records. We respect Ch. 720.303(5)(b) by construction, our outreach sources are public B2B pages only (attorney blogs, podcast guest lists, CAM directories).

Built by an independent team. HOAStream is not affiliated with the Florida Bar, the DBPR, or any HOA management association.
