Find associations likely to need your service soon

Most association work is predictable from the building. A 1980s condo tower faces structural and reserve work, a community with a pool needs it inspected every year, and an association that just pulled permits is already spending.

Common Elements pulls those facts from county appraiser rolls, permit records, health-department inspections and state structural filings, and attaches them to the right association. You filter for the work you do and get a list of the associations that fit.

Which plan fits

Builder, $99/mo or $990/yr.

Builder is enough for one company working its service area: 1,000 rows per search and the commercial-use license to prospect from the list. Growth fits a multi-county operation that wants 5,000 rows and a year of change history.

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

  • Permit, pool and inspection records depend on what each county publishes. Florida is deepest.
  • The data describes associations and buildings. It does not include personal contact details for board members, anywhere.
