What Connecticut law requires — and how CommonGround enforces it
All common-interest communities (HOAs and condominiums)
Who decides the fine
Decision body — the board
The board levies reasonable fines after notice and an opportunity to be heard. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-244(a)(11)
In CommonGround: CommonGround routes the fine decision to the board and requires the recorded decision before any fine is assessed.
Notice, opportunity to be heard, and a recorded decision
The association may, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws, rules, and regulations. No statutory dollar cap. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-244(a)(11)
In CommonGround: The workflow has no path around it: the notice must be sent, the opportunity to be heard must be offered, and the decision must be recorded — in that order — before a fine can exist.
Protected categories screened at intake
Connecticut protected categories per CIOA: enforcement requires recorded attestation citing the statutory exception. Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 47-261b, 47-230a, 47-261g
- Solar unshared roof — Solar protection for certain non-condo/non-co-op communities where the owner's roof is not shared; rules must be reasonable. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-261b
