Remote HOA Management in Michigan
Serving Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor
APM delivers professional HOA and condo management to Michigan boards entirely online — software, financials, and board support for communities in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and beyond.
HOA and condominium boards in Michigan — whether in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor or smaller communities across the state — face the same core challenges: keeping financials accurate and transparent, enforcing community standards consistently, managing vendors accountably, and running compliant board meetings. Remote management through APM means your board gets professional support for all of these functions without the cost and overhead of a traditional local management company.
APM's remote management platform, HOA Alchemy, is the operating layer of your community. Board members get a live dashboard showing bank balances, reserve fund status, open violations, vendor work orders, and meeting history — updated in real time. Homeowners pay dues online, submit requests through the portal, and receive notices digitally. The whole community runs more efficiently, and your board spends less time on administrative overhead.
Michigan community associations are governed by Michigan Condominium Act (MCL 559.101) and Nonprofit Corporation Act (MCL 450.2101). Compliance with state law matters — incorrect election procedures, missing annual disclosures, or improperly documented enforcement actions expose boards to homeowner challenges and legal liability. APM's remote management team provides compliance guidance and documentation support to keep your Michigan association running correctly, even without an in-state office.
Michigan HOA & Condo Law Changes 2021–2025
Michigan has passed significant HOA and condominium law updates in recent legislative sessions. Here is a bill-by-bill summary of what changed — and what your board must do to stay compliant.
2022 Legislative Session
Michigan Public Act 554 amended the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act (MCL 450.2101) to permanently authorize electronic meetings for nonprofit corporations, including HOA and condominium associations organized as nonprofits. Directors and members may participate in board meetings and membership meetings by video conference or telephone — and remote participants count toward quorum — without a separate board resolution.
The Michigan HEPA (Home Energy Policy Act) amendments prohibit Michigan homeowners associations and condominium associations from adopting or enforcing restrictions that prohibit solar panel installation or EV charging equipment installation. Associations may impose placement and aesthetic standards that do not increase cost by more than $3,000 or reduce energy output by more than 10%. This builds on MCL 559.169 (solar) with new EV-specific protections.
2023 Legislative Session
Amended MCL 559.140 to clarify Michigan condominium associations' authority to adopt and enforce short-term rental (under 30 days) restrictions in their bylaws. A co-owner vote at or above the amendment threshold in the governing documents is required. Once adopted, restrictions are enforceable against all current and future co-owners as a matter of contract.
Amended MCL 559.208 to require Michigan condominium associations to provide a 30-day cure notice by certified mail before filing an assessment lien in the county register of deeds. The notice must itemize all amounts owing. Associations may add reasonable collection costs and attorney fees only after the cure period expires without payment.
2024 Legislative Session
Required Michigan condominium associations to include a reserve fund adequacy statement in the annual budget disclosure provided to co-owners. The statement must identify the total reserve fund balance, the major capital components included in the reserve analysis, and whether the current funding level is below 70% funded (triggering recommended disclosure of a remediation plan).
Expanded Michigan co-owner record inspection rights under MCL 559.184, requiring associations to produce financial records, meeting minutes, and all contracts with vendors within 10 business days of a written request. Associations may charge no more than $0.25 per page for copying. Repeated failure to produce records may be the basis for a court order and award of attorney fees.
