Oregon HOAs may enforce the declaration, bylaws, and rules through fines, litigation, or administrative action, but must first offer a county dispute-resolution program for adversarial disputes with owners. The prevailing party in many governing-document enforcement actions is entitled to reasonable attorney fees.
ORS 94.630(1)(e) lets an association "initiate or intervene in litigation or administrative proceedings" on "matters relating to the collection of assessments and the enforcement of governing documents," and subsection (1)(n) authorizes fines and assessment-collection attorney fees. Before starting an adversarial action against an owner, ORS 94.630 requires the initiating party to offer any dispute-resolution program available in the county; if not accepted within 10 days, litigation may proceed. Architectural and use restrictions are imposed by the recorded declaration (formed under ORS 94.580 / 94.704); Oregon law enforces them through these association powers. In assessment-collection, lien-foreclosure, and many enforcement actions the prevailing party may recover reasonable attorney fees.
The association may demand compliance, levy fines, and sue to enforce covenants; an owner who loses an enforcement or collection action may be ordered to pay the association's reasonable attorney fees and costs.
