Oregon HOAs enforce CC and Rs under ORS 94 and ORS 100 through written notice, hearings, and fines; selective or inconsistent enforcement can waive future enforcement.
Portland HOAs enforce covenants, conditions, and restrictions under ORS 94.630 (planned communities) and ORS 100.405 (condominiums). The process typically requires written notice, opportunity for hearing before the board, and a fine schedule in the rules. Repeat violations can lead to court injunctions. Oregon courts require HOAs to enforce consistently, and long-running non-enforcement can constitute waiver or laches. HOAs cannot fine for protected activities (political signs under ORS 94.780, flags under federal Flag Freedom Act, solar, and certain rainwater capture). Members can request records of past enforcement to check for selective patterns.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Portland code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
