What’s new.

Recent features and improvements. We ship continuously, so everyone gets new features automatically.

October 2026
  • Search can now answer a question. Type something like "How tall can my fence be?" and choose Ask for a short AI-written answer drawn only from what you can already open, with each part linked to the document page, message or record it came from. Ask is on every plan and starts switched off, and nothing is sent to AI until your community’s System Admin turns it on in Site settings.
  • Your Ask conversations are kept for 30 days under Your questions, where only you can see, reopen or delete them. Your three latest questions also show when you open search, so you can pick one up where you left off.
September 2026
  • Announcements have a Notify residents switch, on by default. Turn it off to post quietly: the announcement appears in the feed without an in-app notification or a push to residents, though it is still included in the email digest.
  • Boards can now cancel an estoppel request that has not been paid or issued, to clear out duplicates and requests nobody followed through on.
  • When you record a violation, you now find the home by typing part of its address instead of scrolling a list of every home in the community.
  • The portal is easier to read and to use without a mouse. Muted text, borders and status colors are darker, text follows your browser and phone text size, and every button, menu, dialog and card works from the keyboard with a clear outline showing where you are. If your device is set to reduce motion, animations stay still.
  • Boards on the Community plan can now tell residents how to pay fines and service fees, with a link to your payment portal and your own instructions, from Setup.
  • Boards can now list their community in Find your community from the Setup page, so a neighbor who has lost your address can search for it by name or area and go straight to sign in or request access. Communities stay unlisted until the board turns this on, and a listing shows only the name and the area you choose.
  • The notice template editor can now preview a template against a real violation, architectural request, maintenance issue or home. You see the letter exactly as Send Notice would send it, with that record’s details filled in, and nothing is sent.
  • Community issues now come with three ready-made notice templates: Request Received, Work Scheduled and Resolved. Boards can send them from an issue as written or edit them first.
  • Residents can now pre-register guests with their visit dates and vehicle so the gate knows who to expect. Until the guest arrives, you can edit the pass or delete it. Gate staff look up today’s guests by name or plate, and visits are deleted automatically 30 days after they end.
  • Boards can create honor badges and give them to members, and can switch on Founding Member and years-in-the-community badges that are awarded automatically. Badges show on profiles and board cards, and you can hide yours from your profile.
  • A warning still not corrected after its deadline and a grace period can now become a proposed fine on its own. The board reviews each one by default, nothing escalates until the board sets a fine amount, and the fine still goes through the fining-committee hearing.
  • Boards can now set their community name, logo and colors from Setup, and treasurers set the estoppel fee and payment options from the Dues page.
  • Neighbors can offer or ask for help on the new Skill Exchange, filtered by category, with posts that last 60 days. Your phone or email is shown only when a neighbor asks for it, and never beyond your privacy settings.
  • Boards can now record leases on each home and see which ones are expiring. A new Rentals page counts rental homes against the rental cap the board sets.
  • Boards can turn on a chat word filter and choose, for each word, whether a message is blocked, masked with asterisks, or sent to the moderation queue. Direct messages are not checked.
  • Minutes can now record each motion and how every director voted, and residents see the vote with the published minutes. Publishing minutes can also send residents a notice.
  • When your community moves to a plan that adds amenities to the map, the Admin Panel now offers to walk you through placing them.
  • You can now @mention a neighbor in chat. Type @ and a few letters, in a new message or an edit, and their name becomes a chip that opens their profile card. A mention in a channel notifies that person even if they do not follow the channel, unless they turn off Chat Mentions on their profile, while a mention in a direct message is only a link and never notifies.
  • A new official records checklist on the compliance page lists each record Florida law asks an association to keep, what you have on file for it, and how long to keep it. Link a document you have already uploaded, mark a record as not applicable, or leave a note.
  • Board meeting events now record the kind of meeting and how and when notice went out, and show the deadline for giving notice. Saving a notice that went out late asks you to confirm it first.
  • Official votes now live under Polls. Owners cast one ballot per parcel, a proxy holder can vote for the owner who named them, and the board can record a paper ballot, with quorum and results counted by parcel.
  • Fines and suspensions can now go through a fining-committee hearing first. The violation’s Manage tab schedules the hearing and records the committee’s decision, and a fine waiting on its hearing cannot be paid until then.
  • Boards can now set the community’s time zone, and the dates on notices follow it.
  • Boards can import their bank’s payment file on Dues & Payments. Matched payments post to each home, anything unclear waits for review, and importing the same file twice never credits anyone twice.
  • Treasurers can export the dues ledger for any date range as a QuickBooks Online journal import, from Dues & Payments.
  • Every home now has a printable account statement listing its charges, payments, credits and refunds with a running balance. Residents open their own from the portal, and the board can open any home’s.
  • Boards can build their reserve plan from each shared component the association saves for. The plan shows how well funded the reserves are and a 30-year projection that flags any year the balance would go negative.
  • Boards can keep each vendor’s certificate of insurance in the vendor directory. Certificates show as current, expiring soon or expired, and the board gets a reminder before one lapses.
  • On a phone, a tab bar along the bottom of the screen puts your most-used pages, like Home, Calendar and Chat, one tap away, and pages scroll so the browser toolbar tucks away as you read.
  • The Neighbors.fyi sign-in page remembers the community you last signed in to on this device and offers it first.
  • Communities that bank with Alliance Association Bank can pick it in payment settings, so residents get a Pay at Alliance Association Bank button and clear instructions.
  • Boards can set a Reply-To email in Settings, so replies to dues notices, approvals, invites and notices reach the board instead of Neighbors.fyi support.
  • You can install your community portal on your phone’s home screen, with an icon in your community’s colors. On an iPhone, a short guide shows how before you turn on notifications.
  • The sidebar is shorter: less-used pages sit under a More toggle in each group.
  • Features not on your plan now show a lock and explain what upgrading adds.
  • Committee leads who can edit announcements can now also manage meeting agendas.
  • Pages show an outline while they load instead of a blank screen, and votes and RSVPs register the moment you tap. Errors appear as a notice you can dismiss and say in plain words what to fix.
August 2026
  • Chat channels now tell you what they belong to. A channel created for an amenity, a committee, or a poll shows a link back to it in the header, so you can get from the pool channel to the pool’s hours and rules in one click. Read-only channels also say why they are closed now, rather than only that they are.
  • The chat settings page suggests channels worth starting. It offers a short list of topics neighbors commonly use, like lost and found or gardening, creates the ones you pick, and stops offering anything your community already has.
  • Amenities can now have their own chat channel. Turn one on when you add an amenity, or add it later from the amenity’s detail panel, and residents get an "Ask in #pool" link on the listing plus a new Amenities group in Chat. If the amenity is ever removed, its channel moves to Archived instead of disappearing, so the conversation stays readable.
  • Plan and Billing now shows where your subscription actually stands. On a free trial you see how many days are left and the date it ends. If you have cancelled, you see the date your community would be archived and how long you have to change your mind.
  • The community map is much better on a phone. Details now slide up in a sheet sized to your screen instead of a cut-off desktop panel, the buttons sit where your thumbs are, and event cards give the date its own line with the start and end times labeled.
