don’t think the language you cited below has any bearing on the issue. The
covenants will usually have a section providing for when a non-condo HOA’s lien
is created (e.g., when the assessment is due, after recording a lien with the
auditor, etc.,) and the lien’s relative priority against other encumbrances,
including deeds of trust. It’s very common that the lien is subordinate to deeds
of trust or possibly just <U>first</U> deeds of trust. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">I understand that under the
Condominium Act RCW 64.34 that an association has a “super-priority” at least
for 6 months of assessments, over prior recorded security interests (as long as
the CC&R’s are recorded 1st). This was the ruling in: In <EM>BAC
Homeloans Servicing v. Fulbright</EM> 180 Wn 2d, 754 (2014) “a future lien for
unpaid condominium assessments is established at the time the condominium
declaration is recorded, even though it may not be enforceable until the unit
owner defaults on his or her assessments, if ever.”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Is there similar authority for a
HOA “super-priority” when the HOA is not under formed under the Condominium
Act? I think this was discussed before on this listserve and this super
priority doesn’t exist for other HOA’s. ?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
