What Does an HOA Property Manager Do?
Essentially, an HOA property manager assists the Board of Directors and association in most aspects of its operation, and their main duties include:
- Oversee all maintenance of common areas
- Arrange and oversee landscaping services
- Ensure adequate trash removal
- Ensure fire safety compliance
- Schedule repairs
- Schedule, attend, and take minutes of association meetings
- Maintain all financial records and bookkeeping
- Enforce community rules
- Help settle disputes
- Homeowner liaison
HOA managers work closely with a board of directors or board made up of residents of the association. These board members assist in the facilitation of community meetings, keep residents informed of rule and regulation changes, and act as unofficial internal representatives of the management business. Annual elections to elect new board members will be coordinated by the manager.
