Short-term rentals

Redmond municipal code

Redmond regulates short-term rentals, accessory dwelling units, and land use through city planning and Deschutes County coordination (verify with Redmond Community Development). Oregon planned community statutes and recorded CC&Rs govern parallel HOA use restrictions.

HOA governing documents

HOAs enforce recorded use restrictions (minimum lease terms, guest limits, parking) when consistent with applicable city licensure and state law. Covenant enforcement requires notice, cure periods, and uniform application.

Fences & structural additions

Zoning & building code

Redmond development code governs fence heights, setbacks, and critical wildfire-urban interface standards in Central Oregon. HOAs may add design guidelines through recorded covenants.

Permit thresholds

Redmond building division and Deschutes County issue permits for regulated construction. Require both city permit proof and HOA ACC approval when CC&Rs mandate architectural review.

HOA architectural control

HOAs review fences and additions through architectural committees under CC&Rs. Municipal compliance alone does not satisfy HOA design or notice requirements.

Solar & xeriscaping rights

State / local protections

Oregon law limits unreasonable HOA restrictions on solar energy systems. High-desert water conservation practices may appear in both city drought guidance and HOA landscaping rules.

What HOAs may still regulate

HOAs may adopt reasonable design rules that meet statutory tests (location, color, timeline). Associations cannot impose outright bans where state law voids them.

Humidity & exterior upkeep

Document mold remediation vendor contracts

Solar access & architectural review

Texas law limits unreasonable solar restrictions. Boards should publish clear, lawful ARC standards.

Train ARC reviewers on state solar access protections
Log approvals with as-built photos in the document library

Deschutes County Circuit Court and county clerk/recorder offices support dispute resolution and lien recordings. Oregon community association statutes govern assessment and notice requirements.
