SurveyMonkey is rated 4.5 out of 5 from 18,000+ reviews on G2.com

Whether you’re a member of a homeowners’ association (HOA), neighborhood watch, or even the city council, there are issues that the community you serve cares about. Rather than asking each member of your community about these issues individually, use SurveyMonkey’s community feedback survey template. It’s the perfect way for getting peoples’ opinions on issues that matter to them so that you can decide how to take action to help them. Use it to determine where people’s opinions lie and to gather demographic information to see if different groups see the issue in different ways.

HOA Survey Template

Selecting the right HOA survey questions allows you to move from curiosity to action by identifying the specific issues your residents care about most. Using a structured set of questions helps you collect standardized data to inform board decisions and prioritize neighborhood projects. The following questions are designed to be clear and direct, ensuring you gather the actionable feedback needed to support your community's growth and safety.

Property management and safety

  • How satisfied are you with the responsiveness of the property management team?
  • Which neighborhood safety improvement do you value most (better street lighting, increased patrols, or gated entry maintenance)?
  • Does the community signage clearly communicate parking rules and neighborhood speed limits?
  • Which long-term project should the board prioritize (road resurfacing, perimeter fencing, or energy-efficient lighting)?
  • Do you feel the annual dues provide adequate value for the services you receive?
  • Would you support a one-time assessment to fund a major clubhouse renovation?
  • Are you interested in volunteering for a specific HOA committee (landscaping, social, or architectural review)?
  • How many community social events have you attended in the past 12 months?
  • What is your preferred time for attending town hall meetings (weekday evenings, Saturday mornings)?

Using structured HOA survey questions allows board members to identify resident priorities and reduce decision friction. You can use these templates to:

  • Measure sentiment on proposed bylaw changes or property maintenance.
  • Collect demographic data to understand how different groups view neighborhood issues.
  • Prioritize budget spending for community amenities like parks or security.

SurveyMonkey provides an intuitive platform to help you move from curiosity to action. By gathering feedback through a standardized template, you ensure that every resident has an opportunity to share their perspective, helping you make informed, data-driven decisions for your community.
