statutory basis for a six-month super-priority lien for non-condo HOAs.
There is no statutory basis for any liens for HOA assessments.
Theoretically such a super-priority lien could arise based on the language of
the covenants, but I am not familiar with any such
provisions.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

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.”</SPAN><SPAN
