Document management for your HOA

The current rule. The original record. One place to find both.

Give residents a readable document library and boards a versioned record of governing documents, policies, minutes, and community guidance. Keep the audience and publication history with each document.

Resident audience

Published version 3 · Effective September 1, 2026

4.2 Exterior improvements

Submit an architectural request before starting an exterior project that requires association approval.

4.3 Supporting plans

Include the site plan and supporting materials requested by the architectural committee.

A shared folder does not tell a resident which version applies.

totalHOA turns supported uploaded documents into readable pages with a table of contents while retaining the original file. Published versions, amendments, and audience settings keep the record organized.

What you can do

The tools behind the everyday work.

Read in the browser

Residents can navigate extracted document text and headings, with the original PDF available when they need it.

One current published version

Publish a new version and preserve the previous one as an archived record. Corrections move the history forward.

Numbered amendments

Keep governing-document amendments with their change summaries and effective dates beside the document they amend.

Explicit audiences

Assign resident, board, management, or combined audiences. Visibility follows the document’s audience settings.

Search inside the record

Find relevant document content through the library and supported search surfaces instead of relying on filenames.

Write community guidance

Create documents and knowledge-base articles in the editor, including practical instructions residents can revisit.

How it works

From an incoming document to the current published record.

  1. Add the document

    Upload a file or write community guidance in the editor.

  2. Set its context

    Choose the category and intended audiences.

  3. Review and publish

    Check the readable content and publish the approved version.

  4. Keep it current

    Publish later revisions while retaining the earlier record.

Connected by the record

A published rule can do more than sit in a folder.

Eligible document sections can support a cited Nova answer or help the board identify a covenant for a violation notice. The board confirms enforcement references, and access rules still apply.

  • Keep the original source available to read.
  • Give residents a route from an answer to its supporting section.
  • Retain the versions a future board may need to explain.
