Homeowners associations in Oregon are primarily governed by the Oregon Planned Community Act (ORS Chapter 94, specifically ORS 94.550 to 94.783). If you're buying into, living in, or serving on the board of an HOA here, understanding the basics of this framework is worth doing before you need it.
Regulatory oversight
Oregon doesn't have a dedicated HOA regulatory agency; disputes are generally handled through the courts.
What's notable about Oregon's HOA law
- The Act establishes the legal rights and obligations of a planned community's members, individual parcel owners, and the association itself.
- Oregon classifies planned communities into three distinct classes, with the statute applying somewhat differently to each.
- It covers formation, association governance, elections, rulemaking, and assessment collection.
Good to know
Because Oregon's classification system affects which specific rules apply, check which class your planned community falls into if you're researching a specific requirement.
