I have a home and I'm a business owner. How can I make a Community Connect profile for both?

Arrow icon

Each Community Connect profile is tied to both a specific address and a specific email address. Please use your personal email for your residential Community Connect profile and a work email to create your business Community Connect profile.

Can I make a Community Connect profile for a loved one who cannot do it themselves?

It appears someone already created a Community Connect account for my address, what should I do?

Arrow icon

Community Connect limits one profile to each specific Address. This still allows each unit to have an account at apartment buildings or condo complexes. If residents receive an error message that there is already a Community Connect account for this address, take the following steps.

  • Ask your family, roommates, or co-habitants if they've already created a profile.
  • If none of your co-habitants appear to have created the Community Connect profile, please reach out to team@communityconnect.io and we will work with you to resolve the situation.
