Oregon SB1551 prohibits HOAs and deed restrictions from limiting fire-hardened building materials on residential properties.

Oregon SB1551 invalidates deed restrictions and planned community governing documents that prohibit the removal of nonfire-hardened building materials or installation of fire-hardened building materials on residential properties. It limits homeowners associations from enforcing regulations that would constrain the installation of fire-hardened building materials. The act applies to both new and existing properties and takes effect 91 days after the legislative session adjourns.
