Michigan SB0960 establishes a process for local governments to vacate certain deed restrictions on commercial properties.
Michigan SB0960, known as the "dark store prevention act," allows local governments to file a complaint in circuit court to remove private restrictions or covenants from commercial properties that meet specific conditions. These conditions include the property being in a retail zone, being vacant for at least two years, and being considered blighted. The court can strike these restrictions if found, and the local government must hold a public hearing before initiating the process. The register of deeds is entitled to fees for recording documents under this act.
