An architectural request portal your homeowners actually use
Let owners submit ARC applications online, route them to your review committee, track the statutory decision clock, and keep a permanent approval record. Built for self-managed California HOAs that run architectural review out of a shared inbox today.
Online submissions, not paper forms
Homeowners fill out a structured application, attach photos, plans, and contractor details, and submit from any device. No PDF to print, no form to mail, no attachment that never made it to the right committee member.
Never miss the review deadline
Every application is timestamped and shows the committee how many days remain to decide. Missing the Davis-Stirling §4765 window can leave a request deemed approved by default — Propty keeps the clock visible so that doesn't happen by accident.
Committee review in one place
Reviewers see the whole application, discuss it with comments, and record their vote without a chain of forwarded emails. The decision and its reasons are captured, then delivered to the homeowner as a written notice.
How architectural review works in Propty
In most self-managed HOAs, architectural requests arrive as emails, get discussed verbally at a meeting, and end up as a note in someone's inbox. Propty turns that into a tracked workflow with a decision the board can defend.
Homeowner submits a complete application
A guided form collects everything the committee needs the first time — description, dimensions, materials, photos, plans, and neighbor notifications if your governing documents require them. Fewer incomplete requests means fewer review restarts.
The request routes to your ARC
The application lands with the architectural review committee with the review clock running. Members review the details, request more information if needed, and record their decision — all timestamped for the record.
The decision is delivered and archived
The homeowner gets a written decision with reasons and any conditions, and the full history is stored against the unit. Approvals, denials, and conditions are searchable years later when a sale or dispute depends on them.
Built for self-managed HOA compliance
Architectural review is one of the most litigated areas of HOA governance. A structured portal with timestamps, written decisions, and a permanent record helps a self-managed board apply its rules consistently and show its work if a decision is ever challenged.
