What Vermont 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. 27A V.S.A. § 3-102
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
Reasonable fines may be imposed only after notice and an opportunity to be heard. No statutory dollar cap. 27A V.S.A. § 3-102
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.
