Oregon requires HOA board meetings to be open to owners, with notice posted or distributed at least three days ahead in residential communities. Executive sessions are limited to specified topics. Owners may inspect and copy most association records, which must be furnished within 10 business days of a written request.
ORS 94.644(1) provides that "all meetings of the board of directors of an association are open to owners' attendance," except executive sessions under subsection (2), which are limited to legal consultation, personnel matters, third-party contract negotiations, and unpaid-assessment collection. The board "may not meet in executive session unless voted for...in an open meeting" with the presiding officer stating the general nature of the matter. For residential communities, meeting notice must be posted at least three days prior or otherwise reasonably distributed. ORS 94.670 requires the association to keep and make records available for owner examination and copying, furnishing requested information "within 10 business days," subject to a reasonable copying fee and limited confidential exceptions (personnel, attorney communications, other owners' files).
No specific statutory penalty; an owner may enforce open-meeting and records rights through the dispute-resolution process or litigation, and may recover attorney fees as a prevailing party in some actions.
