Oregon Community Association Laws

Planned Communities/HOAs (ORS Ch. 94), Condominiums (ORS Ch. 100), Manufactured Dwelling & Floating Home Parks (ORS Ch. 90, 90.505–90.850), cooperative corporations (ORS Ch. 62), corporate acts (ORS Ch. 65/60), OREA & OHCS/MMCRC. Reference hub

Oregon splits duties between statutes and agencies: HOAs (planned communities) run largely under ORS 94 with self-governance, while condominiums add state oversight for creation/filings and unit-owner association reporting via the Oregon Real Estate Agency. Manufactured dwelling & floating-home parks are heavily structured under ORS 90 and OHCS/MMCRC programs and rules. There’s no standalone statewide CAM license; instead Oregon licenses real estate brokers/property managers, and many associations rely on procedure (meetings, records, budgets, liens) built directly into statute. Net effect: process-centric, predictable for boards and owners who mind the notice and recordkeeping steps.

At a glance

  • HOAs: ORS Ch. 94 (budgets/reserves, open meetings, records, liens/foreclosure, turnover).

Manager Licensing

Is there a CAM license in Oregon?

  • No separate CAM license. Oregon licenses real estate brokers, principal brokers and licensed property managers under ORS 696; there is no standalone HOA/CAM credential in statute.
  • Managing rental real estate for others generally requires an OREA license; association-only admin (not brokerage/property management) is typically outside those categories. When in doubt, confirm with OREA or counsel.

See ORS 696.022 licensing framework and OAR 863 rules.
