Auburn HOAs enforce CC&Rs through written notice, hearings, and fines as authorized by governing documents and RCW 64.90. Owners have due process rights including notice and opportunity to be heard.
Enforcement of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) by Auburn HOAs must follow both the governing documents and Washington state law. RCW 64.90.510 and RCW 64.38 require reasonable enforcement procedures including written notice of alleged violations, identification of the specific CC&R provision violated, opportunity for the owner to cure, and a hearing before fines or other penalties are imposed. Fines must be reasonable and authorized by the governing documents. Selective or discriminatory enforcement can be challenged in court. Common enforcement issues include landscaping maintenance, exterior storage, unauthorized modifications, parking violations, pet rules, and rental restrictions. Washington fair housing laws protect against discrimination based on protected classes, and the Washington Fair Chance Act limits certain rental screening practices. Owners facing enforcement should respond in writing, attend the hearing, document the alleged violation with photos, and appeal adverse decisions. Repeated unresolved violations can lead to liens and legal action.
