Bill > SB411

This bill, titled the West Virginia Land Use Association Registration Act, mandates that any "Land Use Association" (LUA), defined as a West Virginia legal entity responsible for operating a community where membership is mandatory for parcel owners and the association can impose liens for unpaid assessments (this includes common entities like homeowners' associations and condominium councils), must register annually with the Secretary of State's office. The registration, due by July 1st each year, requires submitting a form detailing the LUA's legal name, mailing address, address for legal notices, names of its officers, and the number of parcels it governs. This registration can be done online or by mail, and the Secretary of State may charge a fee of up to $20 per registration. The purpose of this legislation is to create an accessible database of this information to help property owners better understand their associations, with the Secretary of State required to keep the forms online for at least two years and in a searchable database for at least ten years.
