Build on Common Elements data

Power your PropTech products, management software, or legal tools with structured HOA and community association intelligence — compliance rules, association records, flood and risk signals.

What you can build

Structured community association data that your product stack has been missing.

Compliance scanning

Assess community association documents against statutory requirements and best-practice governance rules. Identify gaps before they become liabilities.

Association lookup

Search and retrieve structured data on HOAs and condo associations by address, name, or registration number across multiple states.

Risk and flood data

Layer FEMA flood zone, reserve-study health, and geographic risk signals onto association records for underwriting and due-diligence workflows.
