CCR and By-law Enforcement Procedures

This policy was approved by the 2018 Board of Directors.  Reference:  NWHOA Lawcenter “The Official HOA Handbook”, and relevant Tigard City ordinances.

The steps for dealing with violations of the CCR’s and/or By-laws are as follows:

1.  Homeowners in Washington Square Estates are first urged to deal with violations on a neighbor to neighbor basis to seek resolution.  The goal is to resolve any issues amicably at this level.  We ask that the parties involved address specific points in the CCR’s or by-laws when working for resolution in a timely manner.
2. If the infraction is not resolvable at the neighbor to neighbor level, the complaining party should then bring the issue, in writing, to the Washington Square Estates Board.  The Board will then contact the neighbor in violation, in writing, asking for resolution of the issue within 30 days.
3. If the violations is still unresolved, the Board will contact the City of Tigard, citing the specific Tigard ordinance applicable, seeking the City’s action for achieving resolution.
