HB 5532 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Land use: zoning and growth management; city or village zoning ordinance amendment; revise protest petition requirements. Amends sec. 403 of 2006 PA 110 (MCL 125.3403).

HB 5532 revises protest petition requirements for cities or villages amending zoning ordinances. For most changes, a protest petition must be signed by owners of at least 20% of the affected land area (or 20% within 300 feet of the boundary), but if the amendment increases dwelling units, it requires signatures from owners of at least 60% of the affected land area. The bill specifies detailed petition formatting, including land ownership verification by the clerk and warnings about false signatures, with penalties for fraud. This directly affects local governments proposing zoning changes and landowners who may protest such changes.
