Many Washington Condo Associations and HOAs Must Incorporate or Form LLC

Two Washington laws adopted in 1990 and 2018 require many condominium and homeowners associations to be incorporated entities.  The relevant section of the first law, the Washington Condominium Act, applies to all condominiums created after July 1, 1990.  It states that the associations of such condominiums must be organized as a for-profit or nonprofit corporation.  The relevant section of the second law, the Washington Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, applies to all condominiums and other common interest communities (such as homeowners associations) created on or after July 1, 2018.  It states that the associations of such communities must be organized as a for-profit or nonprofit corporation or limited liability company.  If your condominium or homeowners association needs assistance to comply with one of those laws, then my office is available to provide that assistance.
