Moving Forward
At the September 12, 2026 Special Membership Meeting, the membership elected a new six-member Board of Directors, restoring a functioning elected Board to the Pinnacle Estates Property Owners’ Association.
The new Board has begun the transition of Association operations, records, communications, and member services. This includes continued implementation of the RunHOA member portal, which will provide members with online access to Association information and resources.
New Association Website & Member Portal
Pinnacle Estates Association has established a new Association website and member portal.
PinnacleEstatesMichigan.com will now serve as a bridge to the new Association website and member portal, while continuing to provide access to information and documents developed during the transition.
Visit the New Association Website

Pinnacle Estates property owners are encouraged to register for the new Association member portal.
When registering, members will select their lot number(s) and provide their name, email address, and telephone number.

Help Us Reach Other Property Owners
The Association currently does not have email addresses or telephone numbers for many property owners. Many members also live downstate or outside the immediate area.
If you know another Pinnacle Estates property owner, please send them the registration link and encourage them to register for the new member portal.
PinnacleEstatesMichigan.com will remain available as we complete the transition to the new Association website and member portal.

She loves spending time with her children and grandchildren and especially enjoys family get-togethers with her brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and extended family.

A New Way to Stay Informed
It was determined that the Association needed a better and more reliable way to communicate with the membership. To address this need, the Association has signed up for RunHOA, which now provides a centralized platform for Association communications and information.
The Association’s new public-facing website URL is:
https://www.PinnacleEstatesAssociation.org/
Our new website will provide a central source for Association news, announcements, governing documents, meeting information, records, and other important resources.
Association documents are currently being uploaded to the Website Resource Library. All registered members will be able to review the documents available in the Resource Library.
The Website will also provide appropriate public access to Association information for prospective buyers, real estate professionals, title companies, lenders, local government and zoning officials, and other outside parties who may need information about Pinnacle Estates, its governing documents, land use restrictions, or the Association.
The goal is to provide property owners with a single, permanent, and transparent source for Association information, documents, announcements, and future communications.

Confidential Complaint Process
Association communications described a formal complaint process intended to serve as the first step in reporting possible Building Code or Restriction violations. According to Association correspondence, complaint forms were to be submitted to the Association for review and documentation as part of the enforcement process.
Association communications further stated that, following submission of a complaint form, the Association could issue certified or registered letters regarding alleged violations and could pursue additional enforcement action if matters were not resolved.
Association communications also stated that complaint forms and requests for records should be sent to the Association P.O. Box so submissions and requests could be tracked and maintained by the Secretary as part of the Association’s recordkeeping process.
