Summary: WAC 390-24-200 outlines what is required in reporting real property on the personal financial affairs statement (PDC Form F-1).

The use of street address would not be mandatory.

Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: The proposed change gives F-1 filers more flexibility in reporting the location of real property.
