Home owner's association question

This isn't about bashing HOAs, so let's just not go there.

Our HOA is considering filing a lien against all homes in our subdivision. This is because sometimes the title companies do not properly gather the required transfer fees and some board members think that via the lien a mechanism will be in place to collect the transfer fees.

Now, while I agree that the board should be able to collect the transfer fees, I have not been able to find any portion of Oregon law that allows HOAs to file liens preemptively.

Has anyone experienced this with their HOA?
