Online via Zoom – This webinar will be recorded
This presentation will provide an overview of nonprofit Homeowners Associations and Common Interest Communities in Washington, beginning with a historical look that highlights the exclusionary nature (including issues associated with race-based and class-based exclusions), supported by relevant case studies.
It will cover:
- Practical aspects of associations including common advantages and disadvantages in having associations, the benefit of choosing a nonprofit association over for-profit, and trends in the industry.
- Legal trends in state and federal law related to associations, including an association’s ability to obtain tax-exempt status, where state and federal laws may be pushed or stretched, other common legal issues with Associations.
- How Associations can leverage different laws, including the new Washington Nonprofit Corporations Act, the new Washington Common Interest Community Act, and federal law on tax exemption (including Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code) in order to actually effect social change and be forces for societal good.
