Livonia HOA Rules: Assessment & Dues Rules (2026)

Under Michigan Condominium Act MCL 559.169, condo associations may assess co-owners for common expenses in accordance with the master deed and bylaws, and unpaid assessments automatically become a lien against the unit that may be foreclosed by advertisement or judicial action. Late fees and interest up to the legal maximum (typically 7 percent simple or as set by bylaws) may be added. Non-condo homeowner associations enforce assessments as contractual obligations under recorded CCRs, and often have the right to record a lien after notice. Boards generally must approve the annual budget and provide members notice of assessment increases. Delinquencies can also impair the owners ability to vote or use amenities if bylaws so provide. Associations must follow Michigan Fair Debt Collection Practices if they use third-party collectors.
