Maryland HOA Board Tech Checklist
A short shareable list for fellow officers — what “good enough” looks like when you’re tired of spreadsheet HOA ops. Not a sales deck.
- 1
One shared source of truth
Dues status, meeting dates, and home requests live in one place — not a tangle of Gmail threads and shared Drive folders.
- 2
Residents can see their own dues
Neighbors shouldn’t have to email the treasurer to ask if a check cleared. Online ACH is optional; checks still work.
- 3
Meeting dates without a 40-message chain
Poll officers and residents by email; put the winning date on a shared calendar.
- 4
Maryland filing reminders
SDAT annual report timing (and federal prompts) on a compliance calendar — reminders, not legal advice.
- 5
Pricing a small HOA can explain
$29/mo for the whole neighborhood, not a per-door contract that needs a board vote to decode.
- 6
One officer can start
No RFP required. Claim the HOA, invite the rest of the board, then invite neighbors when you’re ready.
Not legal or tax advice. This checklist is a practical conversation starter for volunteer boards. Filing deadlines and HOA duties vary — confirm requirements with your governing docs and a qualified professional when needed.
