Re: Violation Notice — fine of $250
Dear Board of Directors,
I'm writing in response to the $250 fine assessed at my property. As context for this dispute, the Ramirezes of Beaverton were told a solar permit would 'compromise the aesthetic plan' — language ORS § 105.880 expressly does not allow as a basis for denial.
Under ORS § 94.670, Oregon owners have the right to inspect records within 10 business days. ORS § 105.880 voids solar restrictions. The board did not meet that requirement here.
I demand the fine be rescinded within 14 days. Alternatively, please schedule the hearing the Oregon Planned Community Act requires.
Respectfully,
[Homeowner]

What's in your letter
Every Oregon letter built on three pillars
ORS §§ 94.550–94.783
Each letter cites the specific section of Oregon Planned Community Act the board allegedly skipped — by section number, not by general reference.
CC&R clause analysis
The article and section of the CC&Rs the board cited — pulled into the letter so the board cannot later claim a different clause governs.
Fine-cap or fee math
Oregon has no statutory fine cap, so the letter argues reasonableness and procedural defect under the CC&Rs and Oregon Planned Community Act.

FAQ
Common Oregon HOA dispute questions
Can an Oregon HOA prohibit solar panels?
No. Oregon's Solar Access Law (ORS § 105.880) prohibits restrictions that substantially increase the cost of a solar energy system. An aesthetic-based denial of a rooftop solar permit in Oregon is generally unenforceable.
How fast must an Oregon HOA produce records?
Within 10 business days of a written request under ORS § 94.670. Failure to produce records on time is grounds for an independent records action and is one of the most common HOA procedural failures.
What law governs Oregon HOAs?
The Oregon Planned Community Act, ORS §§ 94.550–94.783. It covers records rights, board meetings, board fiduciary duties, and procedural notice requirements. Most Oregon HOA dispute letters cite at least one provision of this Act.
Are Oregon HOA board meetings open to homeowners?
Yes. ORS § 94.640 requires Oregon HOA board meetings to be open to owners. Notice requirements are specified in the bylaws, and decisions taken without proper notice may be voidable.
