Grihak is an AI-powered HOA and community management portal for San Jose and Silicon Valley boards that want to retire spreadsheets, paper notices, and legacy software. From condo associations near Downtown and Santana Row to sprawling townhome communities in Evergreen, Berryessa, Almaden, and Willow Glen, Grihak gives self-managed boards and management companies one modern system for dues, maintenance, violations, and governance.
Why San Jose HOAs choose Grihak
San Jose is one of the densest HOA markets in California. Mid-rise condos, stacked-flat developments, and master-planned townhome communities mean boards juggle hundreds of units, shared amenities, and reserve-heavy budgets. And your residents work in tech — they expect a portal that feels like the apps they build, not a 2009 web form. Grihak meets that bar: a clean resident experience, real automation under the hood, and an AI assistant that answers homeowner questions in plain language and drafts board actions for you.
Every Grihak association is multi-tenant and RLS-secured, with healthcare-grade security DNA inherited from our sister compliance product. Payments run through Stripe (PCI), and each HOA gets its own branded subdomain.
What Grihak automates
- Online dues + Stripe autopay — residents pay assessments online and enroll in autopay, with delinquency and billing automation that chases late balances for you. See how to automate HOA dues collection.

California Davis-Stirling compliance
California HOAs operate under the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act, which governs assessments, elections, open meetings, records access, and enforcement. Grihak's governance, dues, and records tools are built to support these workflows — keeping clean trails for board meetings, votes, and homeowner notices. Read our Davis-Stirling Act compliance guide for a practical overview.
Modern, AI-native — not a legacy tool
Most HOA software was built before AI. Grihak is AI-native at the core: the assistant doesn't just answer residents, it drafts violation responses, board briefs, and broadcast messages, then files the actions you approve. If you're comparing options, see how we stack up against PayHOA and Vantaca.

Does Grihak help with California Davis-Stirling compliance?
Grihak's governance, dues, and records tools support Davis-Stirling workflows — open meetings, votes, assessments, records access, and enforcement notices — with clean, auditable trails. See our Davis-Stirling compliance guide for details. We provide tooling, not legal advice.
How does Grihak handle HOA dues and autopay?
Residents pay assessments online and enroll in Stripe autopay, while delinquency and billing automation follows up on late balances automatically. Payments run through Stripe's PCI-compliant infrastructure.
