SB 272 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Housing: condominium; definition of undeveloped land; modify. Amends sec. 67 of 1978 PA 59 (MCL 559.167).

Senate Bill 272 amends Michigan's Condominium Act to modify the definition of "undeveloped land." The bill clarifies that land within a condominium project designated in the subdivision plan as containing no vertical improvements (like buildings) is not considered "undeveloped land." This change impacts condominium developers, associations, and co-owners by refining the conditions and timelines under which developers can withdraw unbuilt land or convert units, and when co-owner associations can declare such land as common elements. The modification ensures that areas not intended for construction are treated differently under these development provisions.
