PA 68 Homeowners' Energy Policy Statement

[John Sarver]

PA 68 Homeowners’ Energy Policy Act has been signed by the Governor. Homeowners’ Associations (HOA’s) can no longer prohibit solar energy systems and energy saving equipment (11 types are listed in the act).  Michigan joins 29 other states and DC that have similar laws. Within 1 year after the effective date of the act (April 1, 2025 or maybe earlier), each HOA will need to adopt a written solar energy policy statement.  The law does not apply to “shared roofs” or “common areas”.  More details  Ann Arbor has developed a Model Homeowners’ Energy Policy Statement that can be found here.
