Set up your Texas association

Register a new community and set up its HOA, LOA or POA before inviting members to participate.

Step by step

1. New community: choose Register your community on the public introduction or sign-in page. To enter an existing account from the introduction, choose Go directly to NeighborEase. For registration, enter your name, email, username, a unique password of at least 8 characters and its confirmation. Registration creates your personal account and signs you in; it does not join an existing association.

2. The association setup form opens for a new account with no communities. Enter the association name and select HOA, LOA or POA, then complete the setup and save. Your community is created only when this form is saved.

3. Already have an account? Sign in, open the community selector and choose Create an association. To join an existing community instead, ask its Community Admin for a private invitation link; do not create a duplicate association.

4. Use Add a complete association mailing address to enter the street or P.O. box, optional unit, city, state and ZIP code. Country is United States. Review or change it later in Association settings → Edit association; county coverage remains a separate choice.

5. Choose exactly one Texas county for the community. All 254 counties are searchable by name or FIPS. Later, use Association settings → Edit association to replace the county; if existing properties need correction, review their labels, enter a reason and explicitly confirm the correction before saving.

6. Choose one vote per property or weighted property entitlements. Confirm the appropriate model against your governing documents before using it.

7. Choose your board office: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer or Board Member. No office is selected for you. Your saved position appears with your membership in People & properties; the app makes you the named Community Admin with Board access only in the community you create.

8. Read the organizer authorization declaration for the named association and explicitly check the confirmation before choosing Create association. The community cannot be created without both an office and this confirmation. The declaration, its text version, your identity, the selected office and the server time are recorded in the immutable creation log.

9. Invite members, verify ownership outside the app, and register and assign properties in People & properties. The association creator also needs ownership verification to propose or vote.

10. Add useful community information, schedule a meeting and approve an informal proposal only after checking the eligible property registry.
