All businesses, including common interest developments must register via the Secretary of State (SOS), file tax returns and pay their taxes, and submit a Statement of Information every two years. Failure to properly comply with these requirements will result in a “suspended status” with the State.
When a corporation is suspended, the corporation can take very few actions other than becoming reinstated. Once suspended, legal counsel is unable to assist the association with any legal needs other than reinstating the corporate status to active. Generally speaking, a suspended association cannot prosecute or defend litigation matters in its own name until reinstated.
It is critical to the Association’s operations that the corporation remain in good standing. Check your association’s status here. If you need assistance in getting reinstated, we can help.
