[WSBARP] SOL for HOA liens

[John McCrady]

I don't know of any statute of limitation on homeowner association liens, nor any court cases that impute a statute of limitation.
A review of the HOA documents may be helpful, as they sometimes disclose their own time periods.

Subject: [WSBARP] SOL for HOA liens

Hello Listmates,

Is there an SOL for HOA liens? Our client is an HOA and this HOA is trying to foreclose on a lien. However the lien is more than 3 years old. This HOA is not part of a condo so we don't think the Condo Act (RCW 64.34) applies. If this was a condo, RCW 64.34.364(8) is clear that the lien must be enforced within 3 years. The HOA statute (RCW 64.38) seems to be silent on this issue.

If anyone can provide any answer or guidance, I'd appreciate it very much.

As a side note, thank you all for the active conversations regarding issues each of you deal with and the accompanying answers and suggestions. We should get CLE credits just for being a part of this listserv.

Best,

Miko Santos, J.D., LL.M.
