Why California HOAs Choose Propty Over HOAworks

Purpose-Built California Compliance

Propty includes dedicated AB 2159 electronic notice workflows and SB 323 electronic voting procedures built into the platform. HOAworks does not currently offer these specific compliance features based on publicly available information.

Clear, Predictable Pricing

As of June 2026, HOAworks advertises a flat $29/month (see hoa.works for current rates). Propty is $5/unit/month with every feature included and no add-ons.

Modern, Integrated Platform

Propty is built as a single platform where compliance, communication, and management tools work together. Video meetings, electronic voting, and document management are all integrated rather than separate modules.

Propty vs HOAworks: Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — HOAworks is built specifically for self-managed California HOAs, so unlike generalist property-management tools it's a directly relevant option. The differences between HOAworks and Propty come down to breadth of platform and depth of Davis-Stirling tooling rather than California focus, which both share.
