Commonly Asked Questions
Unit Classification
Question: Is Millwood Village a traditional Home Owner's Association of Single Family Homes?
Answer: No, Millwood Village is a Site Condominium Association. Therefore, each unit is considered as a site-condominium even though they are standalone homes. We are internally responsible for the maintenance and improvements of our own infrastructure (outside of certain utilities provided by the city of Westland). This means that the association is responsible for road maintenance, drainage line repairs, and snow removal within the confines of the subdivision.
Pet Policy
Question: Is Millwood a pet-friendly community?
Answer: Absolutely! All pets are welcome provided that they are non-aggressive and are housed within the interior confines of each unit when not being walked or exercised.
When outside the home, every pet is required to be on a leash whenever on Condominium Premises and that each individual owner is responsible for cleaning up after their pet should they relieve themselves on the premisis (see Community Bylaws, Article VI, Section 7 for more details)
Quarterly Dues
Question: How much are HOA / Condominium Association Dues?
Answer: Millwood Association dues are currently $175 / quarter (Total of $700 annually)
Fences
Question: Does Millwood Community Association currently allow for the option to have fences?
Answer: Millwood Community Association does not allow individual units to have fences unless they are required by law in with approved swimming pools to comply with State safety requirements.
The Association defines a fence as "any barrier, railing, or other upright structure (typically of wood or wire) enclosing an area of ground to mark a boundary, control access, or prevent escape. (See Community Bylaws Article XI, Section 14 )
Home Improvement Requests
Question: Am I required to submit a notice to the Board of Directors before I make changes to my house / Unit?
Answer: Yes, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you provide preliminary notice to the Board of Directors of any changes that you intend to make to the exterior of your unit PRIOR to commencing work.
The Board of Directors reserves the right to review and reject modifications that may not be in accordance with the Community Bylaws or the Master Deed. If Board of Directors' approval is not obtained prior to work commencing, the Owner may be required to undo any said changes made to the exterior of their unit at their own expense.
Receiving this permission / approval notice from the Board of Directors prior to work beginning ensures that Homeowners are protected and fully authorized to make given changes within the community (also serving as a protective documentation should future elected Board of Directors potentially take subjective issue with any of the given changes approved).
