[WSBARP] Homeowner assessments and Real estate contracts

[John McCrady]

The LPB 44 contains the following language:
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS, AND UTILITY LIENS. Purchaser agrees to pay by the date due all taxes and assessments becoming a lien against the property after the date of this Contract.

Has anyone seen the "Assessments" construed to include Homeowner's Association assessments?
We don't use Real Estate Contracts very much in Pierce County!

Email hacking and fraud are on the rise to fraudulently misdirect funds.
