North Dakota has no statute authorizing or limiting HOA or condominium fines. Neither the condominium chapter (N.D.C.C. ch. 47-04.1) nor the Nonprofit Corporation Act sets a dollar cap, hearing requirement, or notice procedure for violation penalties. An association's power to fine exists only if its recorded declaration and bylaws grant it.
No North Dakota statute addresses HOA fines. The Condominium Ownership of Real Property chapter lets owners adopt bylaws governing "assessment of expenses" and similar matters under N.D.C.C. § 47-04.1-07, and § 47-04.1-04 makes recorded restrictions "enforceable equitable servitudes where reasonable," but neither section creates or caps fining authority. Because most North Dakota associations are nonprofit corporations under chapter 10-33, board powers flow from the articles and bylaws rather than a fines statute. The result is that any authority to impose monetary penalties, the amount, and any required notice or hearing must come from the recorded declaration and the board's adopted rules. Where the declaration is silent, an association has no inherent statutory power to fine, and a disputed penalty is tested against the declaration and reasonableness.
No specific statutory penalty. A fine is valid only if the recorded declaration and bylaws authorize it; an unauthorized or unreasonable fine can be challenged as exceeding the association's contractual authority. Unpaid valid fines may be collected only as the governing documents provide.
