Vacant Lot Modification Legality

Summary

The legality of property modifications under a land contract in Michigan depends on the contract terms and local zoning laws. If the contract lacks specific terms, the buyer generally has the right to make changes. However, local zoning laws or HOA rules could impose restrictions. Consulting a local attorney is advisable for further clarification.

Hello ****, the legality of this action depends on the terms of your land contract and local zoning laws. Could you please provide me with your location and any specific terms in your contract related to property modifications?

In Michigan, land contract terms dictate modifications. If absent, the buyer generally can make changes. However, local zoning laws or HOA rules could limit this. I recommend contacting a local attorney for further clarification.
