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
  • Entry door religious item — Certain religious objects on entry doors/frames protected. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-230a
  • EV charging — EV charging protections. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47-261g

In CommonGround: Violation intake screens every new case against Connecticut's protected categories and flags the citation before a notice ever goes out.
