Most homeowner associations and condominium associations in Wayne County communities such as Canton, Plymouth, Livonia, Northville, and Dearborn are organized as Michigan nonprofit corporations under the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act (MCL 450.2101 et seq.). Condominium associations are additionally governed by the Michigan Condominium Act (MCL 559.101 et seq.). Board procedures must comply with the association bylaws, the master deed or declaration, and applicable state law. Boards generally must hold annual member meetings, provide written notice (typically 10-60 days in advance), maintain a quorum to conduct business, and keep minutes available for member inspection. Directors owe fiduciary duties to the association. Members have statutory rights to inspect books and records for proper purposes. Wayne County does not administer HOA governance. Disputes over board conduct are generally resolved through internal procedures, mediation, or civil litigation in Wayne County Circuit Court.
