[WSBARP] Separate Duplex Condos

Wed Sep 7 09:54:39 PDT 2016

The other issue you need to consider is whether you need to subdivide
the units or buildings into separate parcels which can sometimes be a
challenge.  Avoiding the subdivision process is often the reason that
the condominium form of ownership has been employed.

In the condo act (64.34) there is a process for uncondominiumizing an
existing condo. I a m led to believe the process is very
straightforward- a few declarations and you're done. The tricky part- at
least on this side of the state- is working with the assessor to get
your new parcels. Other than that, it seems to be smooth sailing.

Best,

Subject: [WSBARP] Separate Duplex Condos

List mates,

I have clients who own condominiums composed of four separate condo
associations for each of four duplexes.  In other words, each duplex is
a separate condominium.  Each condo owns a portion of the common private
road that services the condominiums. They would like to eliminate the
condominiums as they are having great difficulty getting loans on their
codo units, among other problems.  Has anyone encountered this before
and if so, what is the best way to unwide the individual condominiums?

Thank you.
