About ByLawsIndex.com

The strata & HOA
by-law intelligence platform.

ByLawsIndex.com makes strata and HOA by-law data accessible to everyone — whether you're a renter checking if you can keep a dog, a buyer assessing investment risk, or a PropTech platform needing bulk data at scale.

What are strata & HOA by-laws?

Millions of people worldwide live in strata or HOA-governed properties — apartments, condominiums, townhouses, and units managed by a body corporate, owners corporation, or homeowners association. Every scheme has a set of by-laws: legally binding rules that dictate what owners and tenants can and can't do.

These rules cover everything from whether you can keep pets and renovate your kitchen, to who's financially responsible when the building needs major repairs. Until now, accessing this information has required knowing exactly where to look — and often paying a solicitor or attorney to interpret it.

What we do

We source by-law documents directly from licensed strata managers, HOA management companies, and official land registries, then use AI trained on property law across multiple jurisdictions to extract the key data points that actually matter.
