Others are asking about Washington Mechanics Lien

For an HOA, what lien options are available for nonpayment of assessments and/or fines.

Most Declarations, also known as CC&Rs, that govern HOAs have language allowing the Board of Directors, or other authorized person, to file a lien against the person's property who is delinquent in their assessment payments or otherwise owe the HOA money. The language in the Declarations must be strictly followed. It's usually a good practice to work with the unit owner and let them know you intend to file a lien since they are your neighbors. The HOAs attorney should then perform the filing and recording with the County.

Hope this helps.

Are our lien rights still available to us

The Notice to Customers must be provided to the customer in order for a contractor to be able to lien the property in the event he/she is not paid. However, even though you may have lost your lien rights you can still bring a claim/lawsuit for an amount you are owed.
