Small HOA & Condo Management Chicago, IL
Chicago’s neighborhoods are built around close-knit condo buildings, classic three-flats, and small townhome clusters—many of them overseen by volunteer boards. From Lincoln Square and Lakeview to Logan Square and Pilsen, these associations rely on neighbors who balance meetings, budgets, and homeowner questions alongside work and family life. In a city with aging buildings and shared infrastructure, keeping everything organized takes more effort every year.
MicroHOA was created for exactly these smaller Chicago communities—typically under 50 units—that need dependable systems without the cost or loss of control that come with full-service management. We handle the financial, administrative, and compliance operations that keep your HOA running smoothly, while your board continues to oversee maintenance, vendors, and decisions.
The result is a balance that fits Chicago’s building-by-building character: a well-run, transparent association without unnecessary overhead or complexity.

FAQs
Is MicroHOA a traditional community association management company?
No. Traditional management firms often focus on large, full-service contracts, which can leave smaller Chicago associations with limited and expensive options. MicroHOA was built specifically for small communities that want professional organization without high monthly costs. We support financial operations, communication, and compliance while boards remain in control of decisions. The result is clear structure and transparency at a fraction of traditional management pricing.
What types of HOAs and condo associations work best with MicroHOA?
MicroHOA is designed for small HOAs and condo associations, especially those with volunteer boards and limited administrative bandwidth. Many of the communities we support are under 50 units and don’t need full-service management, but still want reliable systems and guidance. Our platform works well for self-managed buildings and associations transitioning away from spreadsheets or informal processes. It’s a practical fit for boards that want clarity without complexity.
Does MicroHOA collect dues and manage association finances?
Yes. MicroHOA helps associations collect dues online, track balances, and organize financial records in one place. Boards can easily see income and expenses, generate reports, and share financial information with owners as needed. While MicroHOA doesn’t replace an accountant, it provides the structure and visibility boards need to manage finances confidently and consistently.
How does MicroHOA support compliance and recordkeeping?
Staying organized is one of the biggest challenges for small associations. MicroHOA helps boards maintain records, store governing documents, and keep important information accessible year over year. We support common compliance needs and filings by keeping everything centralized and easy to manage. This makes board transitions smoother and helps associations stay prepared for audits, sales, or regulatory requests.
