Homeowners ask in plain English. Answers come only from your community's recorded governing documents and Florida Chapter 720, and every answer names the exact section it came from, so anyone can check it in seconds.
Can I put up a fence, and does it need approval?
Yes, with prior approval from the Architectural Review Committee. The request goes to the ARC before any work starts, and the committee has a fixed window to respond. Height and material limits are set in the article cited below, as amended.
Declaration, Article IV § 4.3 — Architectural review Fourth Amendment — recorded 2019, supersedes § 4.3(b) Fla. Stat. § 720.3035 — architectural control
“My residents can already email me.”
You answer these on your phone, after dinner, with your own job already done for the day. The documents are not the problem. The lookup is the problem.
And when three people answer from memory, a community gets three answers. One director remembers the Declaration one way. Another remembers an amendment. The manager answers from a rule published two years ago. All three are trying to help. All three sound certain. The homeowner acts on whichever one they liked best, and the Smiths get a shed while the Joneses do not.
That is not a people problem. It is a source problem.
“If I cannot stand behind an answer, we cannot use it.”
No answer leaves without a citation. The article and section. The amendment, by name, including when a later one supersedes an earlier one. The statute number. The budget line.
That changes two things. A homeowner can go read the source themselves, which settles most disagreements before they reach you. And when an answer is challenged, nobody is defending an opinion — you are pointing at a recorded document that was already binding on everyone.
An answer without a citation is a rumor with good grammar.
Most of the email you answer today is a citation request wearing a question mark.
“Will it make up a rule, and will we own the consequence?”
The real fear is not that the answers are dull. It is that software confidently invents a rule, a homeowner relies on it, and the association owns what follows.
So the limits are here on the front page rather than in a footer:
It tells homeowners what their documents say. It does not tell them what will happen to them.
“Our documents are scans of typed paper from the 1990s.”
A homeowner asks about access to association records, or notice for a meeting, or how the budget gets adopted. The Declaration is only half of that answer. Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes is the other half, and it governs regardless of what the documents say.
Answers are grounded in the statute text alongside your community's own record, and cite both — the section of the Declaration and the statute section, next to each other. In Florida, a documents-only answer is where this quietly goes wrong.
“Who else is using it, and why would we go first?”
Oakton Preserve, managed by CMC Management, is using it right now — residents signed in, two-factor on every account, citations on every answer. One community in production is the proof we have, and we would rather name it than show you a wall of testimonials we invented.
We will tell you the limit too. In most communities the governing documents exist as scans of recorded paper. They have to be transcribed, and transcription can contain errors. That is exactly why every answer names its section: checking the source takes about ten seconds, and residents are told to do it.
Residents get in because the board lets them in. Each person has their own account, granted by a board administrator or your management company and removable the same way, with two-factor authentication and per-resident history. Question and spend limits are built in, so no homeowner can run up a bill on a Saturday afternoon.
Send us your recorded documents. We load them, and your board sees cited answers to your own questions before you decide anything. There is nothing to sign to look at it.
