Directory sources and review

SpotHOA combines participating communities with listings built three ways: from a public agency extract, from association websites our team has reviewed, and from source links that visitors submit for review. Coverage grows as sources are reviewed. A missing result does not mean an HOA does not exist.

How a suggestion becomes a listing

Anyone can suggest an association by providing its name, city, state, and a public source link. Suggestions stay private while our team checks the source, the community’s location, and possible duplicates. Unsupported or duplicate suggestions are not published as new listings.

What a listing shows

A listing built from the Texas agency extract carries the association name, and the city, county, ZIP and association type exactly as the certificate record states them. Its date is when we retrieved that extract, and the certificate itself is linked so you can read the filing yourself.

A listing our team built from an association website, or published from a reviewed suggestion, carries the name, the city and the state, and links to the page the reviewer checked. Its date is when we published it. County and ZIP are not collected on those two paths, so they stay blank, and a published suggestion carries no association type either.

The place on a Texas listing is the address on the certificate, not a verified location for the neighborhood. Those certificates are often filed by a management company, so the city and ZIP can be that company’s office rather than where the community sits. Read it as a pointer to the right record, not as an address. On the other two paths the city is the one the source page or the person suggesting the listing gave, which we do not verify either. Records may also be incomplete or outdated, and a listing is not a guarantee of current board authority.

We do not collect personal contact details. The agency import requests six fields (name, county, city, ZIP, type and the certificate link) and nothing else, and the suggestion form has no field for a person. The pages we link to are published by agencies, associations and clubs, and may contain names and addresses that SpotHOA never stores.

Suggestions and claims

Suggesting an HOA or having a listing published grants no access to a community. Board representatives use the separate claim process, where staff review their identity and authority before granting access.

About the source links

External websites belong to their respective publishers and have their own terms. Our review does not establish a partnership or endorsement. Only share public links, with no private documents or contact details.
