FAQ

To the extent an HOA's activities implicate any consumer protection statutes, the HOA is subject to the enforcement power of the Michigan Attorney General. Importantly, homeowners' associations are bound by its governing documents (Bylaws, Declaration, Articles of Incorporation).

In general, homeowners can request HOA documents that cover the following: Governing documents, including the CC&Rs, bylaws, articles of incorporation, community plat, and operating rules; All board and membership meeting minutes and notices; Membership lists; All insurance policies of the association;

To change HOA bylaws in Michigan, a majority vote from the association members is typically required, following procedures outlined in the original bylaws with adherence to the governing documents and state laws.

First, the individuals or parties desiring the change will propose an amendment, and then a vote takes place on whether to approve the proposed change. The voters will include the co-owners and mortgagees of properties within the association. For the amendment to pass, there must be a two-thirds approval vote.

Any changes to the Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws must be documented in the county in which the community is located.

Under the newly enacted Homeowners' Energy Policy Act (the “Act”), signed into law by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on July 8, 2024, HOAs can no longer prohibit unit owners/homeowners from installing a wide range of energy-efficient upgrades.

No, there is not a way to ``leave the HOA'' without moving. The HOA covenants are tied to the property permanently.

The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.

The best way to strategize on short-term rental restrictions is to speak to a board member. At the same time, you can consult the CC&Rs' (Covenants, conditions, and restrictions) advice. Knowing the potential risks of getting around HOA's restrictions is important. And we highly recommend doing it the legal way.

In Michigan, an HOA is typically established by filing Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. These articles provide the legal foundation for the association and include key details such as the association's name, purpose, and the initial board of directors.
