What is a homeowners' association?

It is an incorporated, non-profit organization that operates under recorded legal documents (covenants & restrictions). The main purpose is to provide a method of ensuring adherence to the covenants & restrictions, and to maintain the quality, character, and value of the subdivision.

What is the Homeowners Advisory Council?

It is an organization of homeowners and homeowner associations who come together to discuss resident issues. Beginning January 2006 they will meet every other month, on the second Monday of the month, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the lower level of Canton's Administration Building. Contact Charles Mott, President, at 734-397-5495 for information on lien procedures, enforcing/amending covenants & restrictions, developing/amending By-Laws, incorporating through the State of Michigan, the functions/obligations of your Board of Directors, and contracted services for homeowner associations.

Where do I get an official, recorded copy of my subdivision's covenants & restrictions?

Call Wayne County Register of Deeds at 313/224-5852/5853. Planning Services may have a copy on file, but it may not be a recorded copy. It is also a good idea to check with your association as changes may have been made.

Where can our association hold meetings at no charge?

The Township meetings rooms are available, free of charge, to local associations in the lower level of Canton's Administration Building. The Canton Library meeting room is also available, call 734/397-0999 to schedule. During the school year check with the schools for a place to meet or check with a house of worship.

Who repairs our roads in our subdivision?

Subdivisions that are site condominiums with private roads, the association is responsible for road repairs. Wayne County does not have a street repair program for subdivisions with county roads, but if they receive a complaint they will investigate it.

When do we get the final top coat of asphalt for our roads?

The developer is responsible for seeing that this is completed. For developments that have public roads Wayne County completes an inspection for any base repairs needed. They prefer to wait until most of the landscape contractors are finished. Asphalt is typically poured from May to November. Call Wayne County Roads Field Office at 734/595-6515 for more information.

Can we change our clustered mailboxes to individual ones in front of our property?

Generally no, but you can call the Westland Postmaster at 734/326-6030 to address this concern.

What about consumer concerns I have regarding the Post Office?

The Post Office Consumer Advocate for Wayne, Westland, and Canton is Gail Jenks. Ms. Jenks can be reached at (734) 728-0704 regarding any questions/concerns about the United States Postal Service.

What about block parties?

Residents interested in closing a road for a block party can obtain an information packet from the Canton Police Department. You also may download the Block Party Permit Application (158KB) on-line. The packet contains forms for the resident to complete and return. The forms are reviewed by the Public Safety Department and approval or denial is communicated to the applicant within the specified time frame.
