Everything your neighborhood needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Built by a board president who needed every one of these features to run his own community. The Automate plan runs the whole platform, Automate+ adds Herald Phone, your community's own local number, and a community website. Try HomeHerald free for 14 days - no credit card needed - and add a card any time to start a full 30-day free trial on either plan.
Eight AI Agents That Work While You Sleep
Each agent handles a specific part of community management autonomously, so you and your board can focus on being neighbors. Every agent below runs at full power on the Automate plan, and Herald Voice comes with Automate+.
Herald Chat
AI that reads your CC&Rs and answers resident questions 24/7. No more repeating the same answers about trash day, pool hours, or parking rules.
Learn moreHerald in the Group Chat New
Herald sits in the board's group thread like another member - Board Chat in the app, or the WhatsApp group your board already has. Drop in a photo, a PDF, or a question: it files the ticket, chases the dues, files the contract, opens the vote, and posts the receipt back where the whole board can see it.
Learn moreHerald Voice
Your community gets its own phone number, and Herald answers it in a normal speaking voice. Caller ID recognizes residents on hello - they check a dues balance, file a real request with the board, or ask about pool hours at 11pm. No board member's cell phone rings. Part of the Automate+ plan.
Learn moreEmail Integration
AI scans your HOA inbox, catches PayPal and Venmo payments, extracts invoice data, and matches everything to the right resident.
Learn moreHerald Shield
Reads every report against your CC&Rs and recommends a fair, consistent response. Configurable escalation ladder (Warning, Formal Warning, Fine). Repeat-offender detection by address. Photo evidence and a clear audit trail every time.
Learn morePet Protect
Community pet registry with AI photo matching for lost pets. Snap a photo of a stray and instantly find the owner.
Learn moreDues Chaser
AI handles the whole collection cascade automatically: gentle in-app reminder, then email, then SMS, then a formal USPS letter if needed. Residents drop out the moment they pay. The board only steps in for real-conversation cases.
Learn moreHerald Welcome
When a home in your community goes up for sale, Herald sends the listing agent a private portal with covenants, current HOA balance, the welcome letter, and an estoppel download. No more 9pm calls to the treasurer.

Learn moreRecords and Votes That Hold Up
Audit-grade voting, posted meeting notices, a member-visible budget, and on-file insurance and contracts - the official records a transparent HOA keeps, the ones Florida HB 1203 requires, and the ones Georgia SB 406 asks a board to have on hand.
Florida HB 1203 Compliance
Associations with 100+ parcels must post governing docs, budgets, financial reports, executory contracts, bids, and meeting notices in a members-only portal. HomeHerald gives every required record a home behind your residents' existing login.
See the requirement mapGeorgia SB 406 HOA Registration
Secretary of State registration opens January 1, 2027. The filing wants your association's name and address, its officers, a copy of the governing documents, and a financial statement dated within the last year - and an unregistered association, or its agent, cannot collect fines or fees, file a lien, or foreclose. HomeHerald keeps all four current as a side effect of running your community.
See the requirement mapCommunity Voting
Board and community-wide votes with non-anonymous ballots, instant tallies, and a printable PDF audit that survives a legal challenge.
Learn moreOfficial Meetings
Post meeting notices and agendas with a timestamp that proves advance notice, plus private executive sessions and resident recaps.
Learn moreCommunity Budget
Build the annual budget, share it live with residents, and show planned vs actual spending on a cash basis. Pre-fill from the last 12 months.
Learn moreInsurance
Every policy on file with its COI PDF and a traffic-light expiration chip, so a master policy never lapses on a volunteer board's watch.
Learn moreContracts & Bids
Active contracts kept on file (terminated never deleted) and bids grouped by project with the low bid flagged and a built-in one-year member window.
Learn moreDocuments Hub
One members-only place for every record - governing docs, minutes, budgets, insurance, and contracts - searchable and behind resident login.
