Annual household dues of $150 are due by March 1. Invoices will be mailed January of each year and are payable by check or online.
Dues not paid by April 1 of the year will be assessed a $50.00 late fee. If not paid by July 1, an additional $50.00 late fee will be assessed. Homeowners 1-year past due will have a lien placed on their property until due payments are settled.
General expenses include taxes, insurance, mowing, postage and electricity.
Lake Michael is stocked with bass, bluegill and catfish. Members may fish any time of the year from the shore or from a boat or on the ice. Non-motored boats are allowed on the lake. Swimming in the lake, however, is not allowed.
Maintenance of the lake and park area is accomplished through volunteer ship of the association members and association dues. It is hoped that everyone will pitch in to do whatever he/she can do to help keep the park a nice place to get together with friends and neighbors.
A new dock is planned to be installed on the north shore in June 2026.
New aeration units are planned to be installed in the lake in June 2026. This will greatly reduce the need of costly chemicals to keep the lake clean and healthy.
A Playground Committee has been established and we have launched a fundraising campaign for a brand-new playground at Lake Michael. As an HOA, compliance with regulations means our playground must meet certain standards, with an estimated cost exceeding $50,000. While dues contribute significantly, additional funds are needed. All donations, along with the park improvement funds from dues, will be collected in a savings account until we reach our goal for the playground, a project we foresee spanning multiple years.
Our Phase 1 Goal is to raise $25,000 to get started with the purchase and installation of a central playground unit.
Investing in a high-quality playground within our HOA comes with numerous benefits: it fosters a stronger sense of community, provides a secure and enjoyable space for our children, encourages outdoor activities, and enhances our property values. It's an investment in our present and future.
Please consider donating towards the new playground at Lake Michael! We appreciate your generosity.
