<p class="MsoNormal">Homeowners associations are not 501()(3) Entities and therefore are required to register in fact the National Association of homeowners associations has gone to court and tried to get a temporary injunction to restrain the registration
of all associations which the court declined to issue therefore for the time being they are required to register under the act although there are multiple challenges by business associations as well as the homeowners associations to the constitutionality of
the legislation but none of those cases will be heard until after the registration date so if you fail to register and the constitutionality of the statute is upheld then potentially you are at risk for the fines another penalties imposed for failure to register.<o:p></o:p></p>

including drivers licenses, etc. It is hard enough to get owners to serve as a Board Member. I am now seeing many small developments not having an HOA at all. Primarily in Seattle who does not require HOAs on most short plats.<o:p></o:p></p>

I have always had filed HOA in order to reduce individual liability to property owners. I don’t think RCW 64.90 requires the HOA to be filed but many lenders want so see that. In subdivision many jurisdictions require to see the HOA filed.<o:p></o:p></p>
