Due diligence
Get a full report on one association
Buying into, lending on, insuring or taking over one association means reading everything about it. Normally that is an afternoon across the state registry, the county appraiser, the recorder and whatever the association has published.
The full association record assembles what Common Elements holds into one document. Each section says where its facts came from and when, and says so when we hold nothing, so you know which gaps are real and which are ours.
What you get
- Identity and standing
- Registered name, registry status, formation date, registered agent where it is a business, and every identifier we hold.
- Parcels and buildings
- Linked parcels, units, living area, year built, just and assessed value, and recent sale prices.
- Documents on file
- An index of governing documents we hold, from declarations and bylaws to budgets where the association published them.
- Risk and compliance
- FEMA county risk, SIRS on file, FHA status, permits, code violations and pool inspections where on file.
- Board history
- The officer roster over time and every change observed, inside the signed-in product.
- Provenance
- Source and date on every section, and a clear note where a source does not cover the association's state.

- 1Find the association by name in the explorer.

Lookback is how far back a plan may search. History only exists from the date each source started being tracked, so a longer window does not add older changes. Free is for evaluation and personal use; a paid plan adds the commercial-use license.
Worth knowing before you pay
- The full record, its print view and its export need Builder or above.
- Depth varies by state. A state that publishes only a corporate registry produces a name and an address.
