Parma HOA CC and Rs are enforced under ORC 5312.11, which authorizes fines, injunctions, and cost recovery. Enforcement must be reasonable and non-discriminatory, with due process notice.
ORC 5312.11 grants HOAs broad enforcement authority including fines, liens, injunctive relief, and recovery of costs and attorney fees. Before imposing fines, HOAs must provide written notice of the alleged violation and an opportunity to be heard, typically a hearing before the board or a committee. Fine amounts must be reasonable and consistent with the declaration. HOAs cannot selectively enforce provisions; ORC 5312.04 prohibits arbitrary and capricious enforcement. Continued violations after fines may result in suit for injunction in Common Pleas Court. City ordinances (zoning, building) operate independently and cannot be enforced by HOAs.
HOA fines vary by declaration but commonly range from 25 to 250 dollars per violation, with daily accrual for continuing violations.
