113. Our HOA is having difficulty in the “business purpose code” we are supposed to use in our WV SOS form, can you help?

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) contains important information to assist you. The most recent is:

We have highlighted several areas in this NAICS  document. WVOHOA does not and cannot enforce the use of any NAICS codes;  we only provide known information.
