Oregon HOAs may levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws, or rules, but only after written notice and an opportunity to be heard, and only when based on a fine schedule or resolution that has been delivered to each lot. Oregon sets no dollar cap.
ORS 94.630(1)(n) empowers an association to "levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws, rules and regulations of the association" but only "after giving written notice and an opportunity to be heard." Fines must be based on "a schedule contained in the declaration or bylaws, or an amendment to either that is delivered to each lot," or on a board resolution delivered to each lot. The statute requires fines be "reasonable" but fixes no statutory dollar cap — limits come from the recorded governing documents. The same subsection authorizes late-payment charges and assessment-collection attorney fees.
Fines must be reasonable, pre-noticed in a delivered schedule or resolution, and preceded by written notice and a hearing opportunity; fines imposed without that due process or outside the schedule are subject to challenge.
