Westland, MI HOA Rules: Architectural Review (2026)

Despite the 'HOA' label, this is a city requirement: Article XI of Westland's zoning ordinance mandates architectural review for all principal buildings and additions to existing principal buildings, folded into the site plan or building permit review process. Residential buildings must be built of face or glazed brick, split rock, or stone veneer, with decorative siding capped at 10 percent of any wall face. Non-residential buildings must cover at least 60 percent of exterior wall area in primary materials like brick, stone, or matching materials, with concrete block, plywood/T-111 panels, and aluminum siding outright prohibited. The planning commission or planning director signs off on plans and can modify requirements for architecturally significant designs.
