Washington RCW 64.90 governs HOA assessments for Auburn associations. Boards must follow budget procedures, provide notice, and may levy special assessments with member consent in some cases.
HOA assessments in Auburn are regulated by Washington state law rather than city code. Under RCW 64.90.525, the board must adopt a proposed budget and provide it to members, who may ratify or reject it at a meeting. If members do not reject within 30 days at a duly called meeting, the budget is ratified automatically in most cases. Regular assessments fund the operating budget and reserves. Special assessments for unusual expenses typically require majority member approval under many governing documents, though WUCIOA allows boards to impose emergency special assessments without a member vote in limited circumstances. Assessments are liens on each unit under RCW 64.90.485, with priority that can include portions superior to mortgages (the six-month super-lien). Failure to pay can lead to interest, late fees, collection costs, attorney fees, and ultimately foreclosure. Owners should request annual budgets, reserve studies, and financial statements to monitor association finances.
