Notes on how Washington’s reserve study law plays out in real associations, with the statute linked in each.
- What changes for older Washington condos and HOAs on January 1, 2028?
The law · November 7, 2026
The reserve sections of the Condominium Act and the Homeowners' Association Act are repealed on January 1, 2028, and WUCIOA's rules take over for nearly every community. For an older association that means a study updated every year, a professional site visit at least every third year, fixed exemptions in place of a hardship excuse, and a longer list of required contents.

Three short steps. We pick one firm that works where your community is, tell you who it is, and only pass your details on once you say yes.
We are an introduction service, not a reserve study firm. The firm we suggest pays us if you go ahead with the introduction; you pay us nothing.
Received. Here is what happens next.
- Within one working day you hear from us with the name of a single reserve study firm that covers your community’s area.
- Reply yes and that firm gets your request. Reply no, or not at all, and nobody else sees it.
- The firm then checks the scope with you and prices the study. Your email address is used for this request and nothing more.
