About HOA Charter

HOA Charter gives self-managed boards and their residents one place for documents, votes, notices and requests. We’re a small team, and we set each community up ourselves. Military service runs through our team: Doni served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army National Guard, and his father, Don McCarty Jr., spent 27 years in the U.S. Marine Corps.

  Doni McCarty · Founder

  Doni McCarty founded HOA Charter after watching his dad serve on an HOA board and hearing the same story from friends who had too: documents scattered across email, dues chased down one text at a time, or a management company that cost more than it delivered. He built the platform to give self-managed boards one place for documents, votes, notices, and requests — set up for them, run by them. Doni served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army National Guard, and he lives in Johnson City, Tennessee, with his wife Jamie and their daughter Chloe.

  Don McCarty Jr. · Advisor

  Don McCarty Jr. advises HOA Charter. He served 27 years in the U.S. Marine Corps in postal assignments, including Senior Postal Officer for the Marine Corps, Postal Operations Officer for the Department of Defense and Senior Postal Officer for Marine Forces in Iraq. He then led postal services at East Tennessee State University from 2013 until he retired in 2026; along the way, ETSU's postal operation was named Mail Center of the Year in 2017 and 2025, and the College and University Mail Services Association twice named him Mail Manager of the Year. He has also served on an HOA board himself — the experience that started HOA Charter.
