HOA and condo assessments in Wayne County are governed by MCL 559 (Condo Act) and recorded CC and Rs. Unpaid assessments become liens enforceable by foreclosure under state law.
Condominium and homeowner associations in Wayne County collect regular and special assessments authorized by the master deed or declaration and the Michigan Condominium Act (MCL 559.169 for condos) or Nonprofit Corporation Act for HOAs. Regular assessments fund operating budgets, reserves, landscaping, insurance, and common area maintenance. Special assessments fund capital projects or unexpected expenses and typically require specified notice and in some cases member approval. Under MCL 559.208, unpaid condominium assessments become a lien against the unit, with priority over most subsequent encumbrances, and may be foreclosed by advertisement or judicial action. Late fees, interest, and attorney fees are typically recoverable per governing documents. HOA liens follow CC and R terms and Michigan common law. Wayne County Register of Deeds records assessment liens. Homeowners facing assessments should review bylaws, request an itemized account statement, and seek counsel before any foreclosure proceeds.
