What happened. Michigan's Corporations, Securities and Commercial Licensing Bureau launched the MiBusiness Registry Portal on 23 June 2025, and with it stopped accepting paper filings. Announced by LARA press release on 30 June 2025.¹

Most Michigan condominium associations and homeowners associations are incorporated under the Nonprofit Corporation Act. This is the one administrative change of the past two years that touches essentially every incorporated association in the state.

What changed

• All annual reports and annual statements must be filed online. Paper forms are no longer accepted.
• The old CID and PIN access method is discontinued. Every filing now requires a MiLogin for Business account.
• Certificate and document-copy orders go through the portal. Telephone orders have ended.

The dates and the consequence

The nonprofit annual report fee is $20 and the due date is 1 October. Failure to file leads to dissolution, revocation, or loss of good standing after a two-year grace period — one year for a foreign corporation. Email reminders go out 90 days before the due date, to the address on the entity record.

That last clause is where associations get caught.
