How good the register is
The statement is the only official list of associations, and it is only as current as the last filing.
42 of 444 last filed it more than two years before the register was copied. They are counted here but have no page of their own.
The county is free text. Associations wrote “Santa Cruz” 7 different ways; each one is read back to the county.
178 of 444 have had their corporate powers suspended at some point, and 5 corporations here are suspended today. A suspension is the corporation’s, not the community’s — § 5405(d).
