SECRETARY OF STATE
STATEMENT OF INFORMATION

As required by Civil Code §1363.6, associations are required to file statements of information with the Secretary of State. Failure to do so can result in a suspension of the association's corporate status.

Unincorporated Common Interest Developments. Although not currently required to register with the Secretary of State, every unincorporated association must file Form SI-CID with the Secretary of State in July of 2003, and in that same month biennially thereafter. In addition, if the street address of the association's onsite office or the street address of the responsible officer or managing agent of the association changes, the association must file a completed statement within 60 days of the change. For additional information see the website for the Secretary of State.

Incorporated Common Interest Developments. Incorporated associations must file 2 documents with the Secretary of State:

• Statement of Information Form SI-100, with the Secretary of State, within 90 days after filing of its original Articles of Incorporation, and biennially thereafter during the applicable filing period. Failure to file this statement by the due date may result in the assessment of a penalty. The penalty for domestic nonprofit corporations is $50.
   
• Statement by Common Interest Development, Form SI-CID, with the Secretary of State, within 90 days after the filing of its original Articles of Incorporation, and biennially thereafter at the SAME time the corporation files its Statement of Information. While the form must be filed at the same time and in the same manner as the Statement of Information, the filing is separate from the Statement of Information filing.

For more information, refer to the Secretary of State's website page.
