Oregon HOA compliance, enforced as code

What Oregon law requires — and how CommonGround enforces it
Planned communities (HOAs)
Who decides the fine
Decision body — the board
The association (board) imposes fines after written notice and an opportunity to be heard. ORS 94.630
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
A fine requires written notice, an opportunity to be heard, and a recorded decision, under adopted authority. ORS 94.630
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.
Fine limits
Adopted fine schedule / policy required
The fine must be tied to a previously established schedule contained in or adopted under the governing documents and furnished to owners. ORS 94.630
In CommonGround: No fine can be generated without the adopted fine policy or schedule on file — CommonGround checks for the artifact before the workflow opens.
