What Tennessee law requires — and how CommonGround enforces it
Planned communities (HOAs)
Tennessee law leaves the enforcement process to your governing documents — no state statute prescribes the fine notice, cure period, hearing, or dollar caps. CommonGround runs your documents' process with the same statutes-as-code rigor, audit trail, and owner-facing notices: your declaration's notice windows, cure periods, and fine schedule become the workflow, every step is recorded, and every deadline is tracked.
Condominiums
Who decides the fine
Decision body — the board
The board levies reasonable fines after notice and an opportunity to be heard. T.C.A. § 66-27-402
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, and rules and regulations. No statutory cap, cure period, or notice contents. T.C.A. § 66-27-402
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
Tennessee restricts associations from prohibiting display of the US flag and official/replica armed-forces branch flags (Title 66, ch. 27, part 6); reasonable placement/manner rules allowed. T.C.A. §§ 66-27-601, -602
- Flag display — US flag and official/replica armed-forces branch flag display protected; associations may adopt reasonable placement/manner rules only. T.C.A. §§ 66-27-601, -602
In CommonGround: Violation intake screens every new case against Tennessee's protected categories and flags the citation before a notice ever goes out.
