In this episode of the Legal Hotline, we clarify which Washington condominiums are governed by the Washington Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (WUCIOA)—and how to confirm it before 2028.
Learn how to:
Determine whether a condo is under WUCIOA based on CC&R recording dates.
Identify amendments that opt older communities into WUCIOA.
Choose the correct resale certificate form (Form 27-CIC vs. Form 27).
Protect your clients from rescission risk by verifying compliance.
By January 1, 2028, all condos in Washington will be subject to WUCIOA—but the rules already apply to many communities today. Make sure you’re using the right forms and asking the right questions.
Referenced Forms:
•Statewide Form 27CIC (WUCIOA Resale Certificate)
•Statewide Form 27 (Non-WUCIOA Resale Certificate)
