[WSBARP] HOA ?

Justin, at a minimum you need to be aware of the anti-SLAPP statute:

And off the cuff, I’d think this fellow owner was within his legal rights.

Subject: [WSBARP] [SPAM] HOA ?

Listmates:

I don’t do any HOA law.

But, my question is. I live in a HOA community, 86 lots with about 200
acres of land we own within the HOA including 3 bio swales.

We had our yearly meeting this week. I have previously been on the board
not any longer.

People keep stating at this meeting that the RCW’s control our HOA, that
we need an outside financial auditor to audit the books, its controlled
under RCW etc. etc.? I was thinking how can that be when we have a
contractual agreement agreeing to how the HOA is operated in the CCR’s
that are recorded? 

Also, unbeknownst to our board at this meeting a member of the community
became very clever by inviting the county conservation government to
inspect our bios wales. However, I asked where the report is, member said
there is no report.  The member went on to say that all of us will be
fined for improper maintenance, not deep enough, pollution, etc. etc.  I
have a real problem with a member inviting government officials into my
community w/o any notice.

What legal basis would any one of us have against this member for opening
the door by allowing the gov’t to come into our properties inspect the bio
swale and then fine us? Furthermore, we have never been complained upon
about our bios wales, so what is the duty owed to the county?

Thoughts about this?

Sincerely,

Justin K. Monro
