What Seattle HOA Boards Should Know
Seattle associations can face city requirements involving energy use, building emissions, and rented units in addition to Washington’s community association laws.
Energy Benchmarking
Multifamily and nonresidential buildings larger than 20,000 square feet (excluding parking) must benchmark their energy use every year.
For your board: confirm whether the building fits the criteria and assign responsibility for filing the annual report.
Building Emissions Performance Standard
Seattle’s Building Emissions Performance Standard applies to multifamily and nonresidential buildings larger than 20,000 square feet, excluding parking. The program sets strict greenhouse gas emissions targets, with covered buildings eventually required to reach net-zero emissions.
For your board: determine the building’s compliance schedule early and consider future system upgrades when preparing reserve and capital plans.
Rental Registration and Inspections
Generally, residential rental properties must register with the city. This can include individually rented condominium units (with exceptions). Registration lasts two years and must undergo inspection.
For your board: make sure owners who rent their units understand that city rental requirements are separate from the association’s own rental restrictions.
Washington Community Association Laws
The Washington Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, or WUCIOA, governs common interest communities created on or after July 1, 2018, as well as older communities that have elected to become subject to it.
For your board: identify when the community was created and which state statutes currently apply.
