Oregon ORS 94.709 allows Portland HOAs to levy regular and special assessments; unpaid dues create a lien with foreclosure rights after a 90-day cure period.
ORS 94.709 authorizes planned community HOAs and ORS 100.450 authorizes condominium associations to levy regular, special, and emergency assessments. Portland HOAs must follow the budget and notice procedures in the declaration and give at least 30 days notice of regular assessment changes. Unpaid assessments create a statutory lien on the unit; foreclosure is available after 90 days delinquency and a written demand. Oregon caps late fees and requires reasonable attorney fees. Owners have the right to request a statement of account and pay current without waiving disputes on special assessments.
