[WSBARP] Homeowner assessments and Real estate contracts

[Bryce Dille]

The vast majority of CC and Rs provide unpaid assessments for common expenses are a lien against the lot assessed regardless of whether a written lien if filed and the courts have upheld this although I don't have a cite handy.

Subject: [WSBARP] Homeowner assessments and Real estate contracts

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!
