Are there limits on the number of cars that can be parked in a condo complex?

In Washington, condo law does limit the number of cars that can be parked in a condo complex. The most common limits are based on the size of the complex, the number of parking spaces available within the complex, and other considerations such as fire and safety regulations. The Washington State Condominium Act requires that the condo association provide parking spaces that are sufficient to accommodate the number of dwelling units in the complex. Generally, this means that the owner of each dwelling unit must have one parking space for each vehicle owned by the occupants. Exceptions to this may include common areas with specific designated parking spaces. In addition, the Condominium Act prohibits the association from enforcing “nuisance” or “unreasonable” restrictions on the number of cars that can be parked. This means that the association cannot, for example, forbid an owner from parking more than two cars, if parking of additional vehicles would not cause a disturbance or be a nuisance to other condo owners. Finally, the Condominium Act also restricts the association from prohibiting or unreasonably hindering an owner from parking in a designated public parking area that is available to the public. These laws help regulate the number of cars that can be parked in a condo complex, providing owners with safe, adequate and comfortable parking arrangements.
