Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Washington

HOA lien for past dues

Hello, I'm the treasurer of our HOA and we have a homeowner that is delinquent 3 years of dues and soon to be 4. Is there a form I can file with the court for a lien against the property? Or does the association have to hire an attorney and sue the homeowner, get a judgment against them and then file a lien? Do I need to give the homeowner notice of intent to file a lien?

It is best to have the association hire an attorney. Importantly, the association and you and other board members could be held personally liable if it is done in error. We regularly represent HOA.
