What you’ll learn
In this video from our technology partner HOA Services USA, the focus is inflation in 2026 and how HOA boards can protect their communities. Arizona boards are feeling rising costs in landscaping, water, insurance, utilities and repairs, and those pressures show up at budget time. Practical responses include updating your reserve study, building realistic budgets and avoiding long gaps between dues increases. On the management side, Transcend’s Lifetime Guarantee (Fee Lock) keeps the base management fee for base services from increasing as long as your association auto-renews and stays on our Remote Management option. Watch the video, then read our HOA budget guide, the raising HOA assessments guide and the Fee Lock page. Add-on and optional services and scope changes are priced separately, so boards should review both the base fee and extras when comparing managers.
