Ohio HOA & Condo Calculators

Ohio condominium and planned-community calculators under the Ohio Condominium Property Act (ORC Chapter 5311) and Planned Community Act (ORC Chapter 5312): assessment liens, reserve fund adequacy with 2/3-owner waiver vote, fines under association rules, and the 10-day resale certificate with 3-business-day buyer rescission right. Ohio is not a confirmed super-priority state — assessment liens are generally subordinate to a recorded first mortgage.

Most-used calculators

ORC § 5311.18 (Ohio Condominium Property Act: assessment lien attaches from date of nonpayment

Ohio HOA Assessment Lien Calculator — ORC § 5311.18 (Condo) & § 5312.14 (Planned Community) Lien Amount & Priority

Compute the total Ohio HOA or condominium assessment lien amount (principal + late fees + attorney fees) under ORC § 5311.18 (Ohio Condominium Property Act) or ORC § 5312.14 (Ohio Planned Community Act). Ohio requires judicial foreclosure to enforce assessment liens and does NOT provide a confirmed statutory super-priority over a recorded first mortgage — unlike Illinois (six-month super-priority) or Massachusetts. The calculator flags this as "limited priority," estimates the judicial foreclosure timeline (12–24 months), and explains the lien attachment mechanics under Ohio law.

ORC § 5311.081 (Ohio Condominium Property Act: reserve fund for capital expenditures

Ohio Condominium Reserve Fund Calculator — Funding Ratio, Deficit & 2/3 Waiver Vote under ORC § 5311.081

Compute the Ohio condominium reserve fund funding ratio, deficit, recommended annual contribution, and projected 5/10-year balances under ORC § 5311.081 (Ohio Condominium Property Act). Ohio does NOT prescribe a minimum funding percentage — the board sets the amount. Reserve contributions may be waived only by a 2/3 vote of ALL unit owners (not just a voting majority). The calculator flags funding ratios below the 70% CAI industry standard and computes the exact 2/3 waiver vote threshold. Contrasts with Florida's post-SIRS mandatory funding rules and North Carolina's adequacy-disclosure model.

ORC § 5311.041 (Ohio Condominium Property Act: fine authority if authorized by governing documents

Ohio HOA Fines Calculator — ORC § 5311.041 (Condo) & § 5312.07 (Planned Community) — Declaration-Controlled Caps, Procedural Validity & Lien Conversion

Compute the lawful maximum Ohio HOA or condominium fine under ORC § 5311.041 (Ohio Condominium Property Act) or ORC § 5312.07 (Ohio Planned Community Act). Ohio has NO statutory per-day or aggregate fine cap — the governing documents control. Enter your declaration's fine schedule to apply the declaration-controlled cap. The calculator checks procedural validity (reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard), flags any overage above the declaration cap, and determines whether the unpaid fine converts to a lienable assessment under ORC § 5311.18 / § 5312.14. Contrasts with North Carolina ($100/day, $2,000 aggregate cap) and Florida ($100/day, $1,000 aggregate cap).
