Several laws relating to Washington condominium and homeowners asociations were
recently approved. The most important of them states that the Washington State
Common Interest Ownership Act ("WUCIOA") will automatically apply to
all such community associations beginning on January 1, 2028. This
comprehensive law contains many new provisions governing associations'
internal affairs. You can review the full law here.
Association boards should
consider consulting with a qualified attorney to learn about their legal obligations under WUCIOA. They should also consider amending
their associations' governing documents to bring
them into accordance with WUCIOA.
