That was my typo.  Not a deed but a covenant.   We did pretty much what set forth below and they refuse to record it.

The Auditor thinks you are creating a covenant to be enforced by anyone in the public. Not likely what your client intends.

Why are you proposing to use a deed? Is there a transfer of ownership of the property to be burdened by the new covenant?  If yes, and the grantor intends the new covenant as a burden on the land transferred, retained for the benefit of the adjoining land the grantor owns, then a deed can work to transfer, subject to the new covenant. But if no transfer, simply record a Declaration imposing the new covenant. Ensure the land holding the benefit is clarified.

If the owner(s) of all of the land to be burdened intend to impose a covenant, and can identify the property that is intended to have the enforcement rights, then

DECLARATION OF COVENANTS

THIS DECLARATION, made on the date hereinafter set forth by OWNERS A, B, C, hereinafter collectively referred to as "Declarants":

RECITALS:

A. The Declarants are the owners of the following described real estate located in _______ County, WA, hereinafter referred to as the Encumbered Property:

B. The Declarants intend to impose these Covenants upon the Encumbered Property for the benefit of three parcels of real property adjoining the Encumbered Property, described upon Exhibits A, B and C, hereinafter referred to as the Benefitted Properties:

Listmates.  Client wants to record a restrictive covenant against his own property saying that any future owner must elect to be a member of a certain subgroup of the HOA. (Disregard merger) Subgroup has use of certain facilities and is responsible for specific maintenance.   County refuses to record the deed unless the Grantee is " The Public"   I am not seeing " The Public" involved in this.   Thoughts?
