Sound familiar?

The problems this solves

  • Guest spots become second garages

    The same cars camp in visitor parking for weeks while actual guests circle the block.

  • Enforcement gets personal

    When a neighbor writes the ticket, every citation risks a feud. Boards need consistency, not confrontation.

  • Volunteers have no time for admin

    Tracking permits, violations, and payments in a shared spreadsheet is a part-time job nobody signed up for.

How Lotably handles it

Built for hoas & residential

See the whole platform
Scheduled visitors and office help
Residents can schedule a guest up to 30 days ahead, extend a stay within their allowance, and use eligible visitor lots for their own cars. Staff see the host and unit, can issue passes, and record a reason for overrides. Choose calendar-week or calendar-month quotas.
Applications, waitlists, and plan rules
Enable online monthly applications, review documents, and offer available spots from a per-lot waitlist. Named plans define days, overnight hours, and event rules. Activate a permit after payment or an authorized staff action.
Resident and vehicle rosters
Every household’s vehicles on file, importable by CSV, with self-service so residents update their own plates.
Consistent, evidence-backed citations
The rules you set, applied the same way every time, with photos attached. No he-said-she-said.
Online payment, zero awkwardness
Violators pay by QR or plate online. No knocking on doors, no cash envelopes, and funds settle to the association’s own account.
A record the board can show
Every citation, contest, and decision in an audit log, so the board can see every decision.

What operators ask us

Can residents schedule or extend guest parking?

Yes. Residents can schedule a guest pass up to 30 days ahead, extend a stay within their allowance, or register their own car for an eligible visitor lot. Set calendar-week or calendar-month quotas, simultaneous-pass limits, and maximum length. Staff can issue passes for residents and record a reason when overriding limits.

Can people apply for monthly parking online?

Yes. Turn on online applications, choose the plans and documents to request, and set monthly spots per lot. Staff can approve, decline, or waitlist applicants. When a counted spot opens, the next applicant receives an offer held for 72 hours. Approval creates the permit; it starts after the first payment or a staff action, depending on the payment arrangement.

Is this fair to residents?

Officers can check plates against the roster and attach photo evidence to citations. Residents can contest eligible tickets online, and staff review the evidence and record their decisions.

Is it affordable for a small community?

It starts free: $0/month plus 12% per payment collected online, published on the pricing page, with a $99/month plan at 5% once volume grows. Daily parking is at most 35¢ (Free) or 25¢ (Starter) a session. A patrol phone is the only equipment needed.

Who does the enforcement?

Whoever you choose: a property manager, a contracted patrol service, or trained community staff. Permissions control exactly what each user can do, and every action is logged.

Keep guest parking for actual guests.
