Payments FAQ
We know a new system can be a little tricky to navigate at the start, so we created this resource for you to understand what payments are and how to set everything up. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please let us know so we can help you and add it here to help other residents.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we upgrade your HOA systems!

HOA dues cover the costs of maintaining and improving shared community spaces, services, and amenities. They typically pay for the maintenance of common areas, community amenities, utilities and services, reserve funds for future repairs, and insurance and legal expenses.
There are many reasons why paying HOA dues is important, but the two main reasons are they protect property values and ensure the community operates properly. Paying dues on time keeps the community running smoothly and benefits everyone living in it.

ACH Bank Transfers – Typically take 2–5 business days to process, as banks require time to verify and clear the transaction.
Credit/Debit Card Payments – These are usually processed instantly or within 24 hours, though it may take 1–2 business days for the charge to appear on your statement.
Once your payment is processed, you will receive a confirmation email, and your account balance will be updated in NeighborCloud. If a payment is still pending beyond the expected timeframe, check with your bank or contact NeighborCloud support for assistance.
