Can Owners Inspect Vendor Contracts in Washington?

Question:

My HOA Board just announced they hired a new management company to oversea our community. As a homeowner can I request to see the contract they signed on our behalf? Would the management company be considered a vendor?

Answer:

Hi Deanna,

According to the Revised Code of Washington Section 64.38.045(2), “All records of the association, including the names and addresses of owners and other occupants of the lots, shall be available for examination by all owners, holders of mortgages on the lots, and their respective authorized agents on reasonable advance notice during normal working hours at the offices of the association or its managing agent. The association shall not release the unlisted telephone number of any owner. The association may impose and collect a reasonable charge for copies and any reasonable costs incurred by the association in providing access to records.”
