Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) in Westland are private contracts enforced by the HOA through fines, liens, and court action, with due process protections required under Michigan law.
CCRs recorded with the Wayne County Register of Deeds run with the land and bind all owners in a subdivision or condo project. HOAs enforce CCRs using graduated tools: written warning, hearing, fines, suspension of amenity access, lien, and ultimately court enforcement. Michigan condominium law (MCL 559.206) allows court enforcement of bylaws and master deed provisions, and nonprofit HOAs rely on the recorded declaration. Due process requires notice of alleged violation and an opportunity to be heard before fines are imposed. Selective enforcement (treating similar violations differently) can be a defense. Westland city code does not override private CCRs, but city codes apply in addition. Owners should request a copy of recorded CCRs before buying.
