HOA Management Software for South Carolina
Purpose-built for communities governed by South Carolina Homeowners Association Act (Code §27-30-110+) and Horizontal Property Act (Code §27-31). Auto-generated filings, state-statute-aware AI, and a free tier for small HOAs.
Built for South Carolina's rules
Every state's HOA statute has its own filing windows, disclosure requirements, and election rules. ForgeHOA's AI cites them inline and our workflows match them out of the box.
- Annual governing-document filing under §27-30-130, ForgeHOA assembles the rules, regs, and bylaws each January and produces the Register of Deeds packet for filing in every county where the community sits
- Master deed and bylaws management under the Horizontal Property Act (§27-31) for condos, amendment tracking, owner-percentage interests, and the §27-31-200 lien workflow
- Reserve study workflow for condo associations, ForgeHOA runs the reserve forecast and surfaces the §27-31 funding levels in board reports
- Board election and fine procedures aligned with the governing documents (the SC HOA Act defers to the declaration on most procedural questions)
- Annual financial disclosure to members, budget summary, reserve summary, and insurance summary auto-assembled and shipped through the portal
Frequently asked questions
Does ForgeHOA handle the §27-30-130 annual governing-document filing?
Yes. The South Carolina HOA Act (Act 245 of 2018) requires every HOA to file its declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations with the Register of Mesne Conveyances or Clerk of Court of the county where the community is located, and to refile when documents change. Under §27-30-130 the rules and regs lose enforceability if they're not on file. ForgeHOA tracks the filing state per county, generates the packet, and reminds the board to refile after any board adoption of new rules.
How does ForgeHOA handle South Carolina condo associations under the Horizontal Property Act?
SC condos sit under Title 27, Chapter 31, the Horizontal Property Act, which long pre-dates the HOA Act. It governs master deeds, bylaws amendments, percentage interests, common-element use, and the §27-31-200 lien for unpaid assessments. ForgeHOA picks the Horizontal Property Act workflow when you set the community type, generates Master Deed-aware notices, and runs the lien process per §27-31-200 instead of HOA-Act procedures.
Does South Carolina require reserve studies?
There is no single statewide reserve-study mandate for SC HOAs, but condos under the Horizontal Property Act and many planned communities require reserve funding through their master deed or declaration. Lenders and FHA condo certification effectively force a study for most condo projects. ForgeHOA runs a reserve forecast for any community type, refreshes it on the cadence you set (typically every 3 years with annual updates), and includes the reserve summary in the annual financial disclosure to members.
How does ForgeHOA support SC HOA board elections and fines?
The SC HOA Act largely defers to each association's declaration and bylaws on procedure for elections, fines, and meetings. ForgeHOA reads your governing documents during onboarding, parameterizes notice windows, quorum, and hearing requirements, and runs the workflow against those values. Election results are preserved with the ballot record; fines route through the hearing workflow with the cure-notice period your declaration specifies.
