Frequently asked

HOA Property Management Agreement Template — quick answers

Reviewed July 2026 Free download, PDF & DOCX

What is an HOA property management agreement?

An HOA Property Management Agreement is a contract between a homeowners association (HOA) and a property management company. It defines the manager’s responsibilities such as collecting dues, coordinating maintenance, managing vendors, supporting board meetings, handling homeowner communications, and keeping records.

How is HOA management different from rental property management?

HOA management focuses on community operations, budgeting, dues/assessments, vendor coordination for common areas, meeting support, and enforcing community rules as directed by the board. This template includes sections for board approvals and meeting/records support.

What should be included?

Key terms include: scope of services, board vs manager authority, dues handling, maintenance/vendor oversight, financial reporting, meeting support, insurance, spending limits, document retention, and termination.

Does the manager enforce HOA rules?

Managers often assist with notices and compliance coordination, but the HOA board typically sets enforcement policy. This template uses careful language to show the manager supports enforcement as directed, without making the manager the “legal decision-maker.”

What fees are common for HOA management?

Common fees include a monthly management fee (per unit or flat fee), meeting attendance fees, project management fees, resale/disclosure package fees, and administrative charges. This template includes each as optional fee lines.
