Contract 1.0.0
Exact public records, honest limits.
HOAFeeCheck can identify a complete official association or document record when the public source supplies it. A public-record match is not permission to invent a fee, assign an address to an HOA, or certify title.
The exact public-data boundary for HOA association identity, management certificates, recorded documents, dues, assessments, address membership, and title searches.
What can be exact
- Texas management certificates: association name, county, city, ZIP code, association type, and certificate URL from the daily TREC dataset.
- Recorded documents: an official document number, type, date, and source URL when a county recorder result supplies those fields.
- Matching directories: the full set of official records matching a city, county, ZIP code, or association name. Multiple matches stay multiple.
What cannot be inferred
- No matching public record does not mean “no HOA.”
- A city-level certificate does not prove that a street address belongs to that association.
- Management certificates do not provide a complete public source for current regular dues, special assessments, unit balances, or historical payments.
- A recorder search result does not establish clear title or a complete lien or foreclosure history.
Primary sources
Texas Real Estate Commission HOA Management Certificates is updated daily and exposes name, county, city, zip, type, certificate. Tarrant County Clerk Real Estate Records and DuPage County Recorder Official Search identify recorded documents but do not turn a portal search into a title opinion.
Illinois Common Interest Community Association Act, 765 ILCS 160/1-45 is conditional on association type and facts. A generic “Wheaton HOA audit requirements” query therefore receives no universal yes/no claim.
Failure behavior
Ambiguous, stale, missing, and source-error results return no exact property claim. The product names the missing requirement and may link to an official source only after the unavailable state is clear.
