The Michigan Condominium Act has not been amended once in three years

What happened. Nothing, to the statute that governs Michigan condominiums. A sweep of the Legislature's complete Public Act lists for 2024 (275 acts), 2025 (74 acts) and 2026 (91 acts, with the Michigan Compiled Laws complete through Public Act 91 of 2026) finds no amendment to the Condominium Act, 1978 PA 59, MCL 559.101 et seq.

Not one. No change to lien priority, foreclosure, budgets, reserves, records access, co-owner voting, bylaw amendment thresholds, or the “undeveloped land” provision that generates most of the state's condominium litigation.

The list of things that also did not change

  • The Nonprofit Corporation Act, 1982 PA 162, MCL 450.2101 et seq. — zero amendments. No change to remote meetings, electronic voting, director indemnification or member records rights.
  • The Summer Resort Owner Corporation acts (1889 PA 39, 1911 PA 230, 1929 PA 137) — no bills at all in the 2025–2026 session, let alone acts.
  • The Mobile Home Commission Act, 1987 PA 96 — no enacted amendment.
  • The Michigan Zoning Enabling Act, 2006 PA 110 — no enacted amendment in 2024–2026.
  • Foreclosure by advertisement and redemption, MCL 600.3201 et seq. — no enacted amendment.
  • The Michigan Consumer Protection Act — no enacted amendment.
  • Short-term rental state preemption — nothing enacted. Local control is intact.
