Condo and HOA Management Software for Chicago

Most Chicago associations are small buildings with no manager and a statute that does not care. HOAware is how three owners run one properly.

The Six-Flat Is the Typical Chicago Association

Chicago's community association landscape is not dominated by master-planned subdivisions. It is thousands of two-flats, six-flats and courtyard buildings, many self-managed by the owners who live in them, operating under the Condominium Property Act with the same records, notice, budget and reserve obligations as a 300-unit tower. The suburbs add townhome associations under the Common Interest Community Association Act, which is a different statute again. HOAware is sized for the small building and structured for the difference between the two.

Features for Chicago HOAs

Tools designed for Chicago, IL communities.

Right-Sized for Small Buildings

A six-unit association gets proper ledgers, meeting records, notices and owner statements without the overhead or the price of a platform built for a thousand doors.

Condominium and Townhome, Kept Apart

The Condominium Property Act and the Common Interest Community Association Act are different statutes with different requirements. Running both does not mean blurring them.

Winter Vendor Records

Snow removal, boiler service, roof repairs and the contracts behind them stay with the building, which matters when the board is the three owners who happen to live there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HOA management in Chicago.

The Condominium Property Act does not reduce its requirements because your building is small. You still owe owners notice, records, a budget, reserves and a proper accounting of assessments, and you owe it with three volunteers rather than a management company. Small Chicago associations are one of the clearest cases for this kind of software, not the weakest.

Condominiums are governed by the Condominium Property Act at 765 ILCS 605. Non-condominium communities fall under the Common Interest Community Association Act at 765 ILCS 160, which exempts smaller associations by unit count or budget unless they elect in. Your declaration and how the property was created determine which, so confirm it with counsel before relying on either.

Yes. Larger Chicago buildings bring payroll-adjacent vendor management, package and amenity operations, elevator and life-safety records and per-unit percentage interests. Those are supported alongside the small-building case rather than instead of it.

Yes, and in a self-managed building it is often the single biggest change. Owners pay from the portal, the ledger updates itself, and the treasurer stops chasing checks and reconciling a shared spreadsheet against a bank statement by hand.
