This article discusses unpaid special levy voting rights, explaining that in WA any unpaid levy, including a special levy, can make an owner unfinancial and unable to vote.
Question: Can I still vote if I don’t pay a special levy? In WA, would I be unfinancial if I have an overdue special levy?
A special levy to raise $170000 was voted in at the last meeting of our strata. We did not attend this meeting as the only notice of this was via email and filtered straight to my husband’s junk mail and so forwent our right to vote.
We now have a $22k bill for repairs we do not agree with. My question is – will we be unable to vote on other matters if we don’t pay this special levy?
For WA, I have not been able to find information which makes the distinction between regular strata fees and a special levy. I understand that if regular strata fees are not paid, we are not entitled to vote but my question is in regards to a special revenue raise?
Answer: Includes all levies standard or special as passed at an AGM or EGM.
