Deed Restrictions – Restricted Properties
The Master Deed Restrictions for the Michaywe Planned Unit Development (PUD) is the governing document upon all the property within Michaywe. This document defines what the restricted properties are (i.e. lots, parks and other lands) and how they can be used (building requirements, restrictions, fines, etc.). This document is recorded at the Otsego County Register of Deeds and is a lien and encumbrance upon the land.
Michaywé is a deed restricted community. The restrictions were created and occasionally modified in order to maintain the community in an orderly and aesthetically pleasing place where home and lot owners can enjoy their surroundings. The full text of the restrictions is very detailed and comprehensive and as a result, can be a bit overwhelming to fully absorb. However, it is incumbent upon lot and homeowners to be aware of and comply with the stated restrictions. Below you will see a list of deed restriction topics that can be used as a guideline to the full text if there is a specific interest in any (or all) of the restrictions. The full language of the deed restrictions can be found on the link below.
