[WSBARP] condominium law question

[Bryce Dille]

Both RCW 64.34 and 64.90 allow the association to acquire real property and the common expense definition especially under 64.90.010 (8) defines a common expense as any expense of the association and therefore can be allocated to the unit owners in accordance with common expense liability. However it is not part of the condominium until incorporated by amendment to the Map.

Dear Listmates, may I impose on your good natures for a question?  I wonder if a condominium association can take ownership of real property that is not included in the survey map or declaration, by having the owner deed that property to the association, and include the cost of upkeep of that property in the common area maintenance assessments charged to condominium unit owners without having to record an amendment to the declaration and survey map to include the new property in the common areas.  Please assume for the question that the real property involved benefits the owners of the units in the association.   Thanks for your consideration.  Yours truly, Douglas Owens
