The Self Storage Association of Michigan (SSAM) formed in 2007 to respond to the needs of the self-storage owners and operators throughout the state. SSAM’s mission: Through legislation, education, and marketing, the Self Storage Association of Michigan works to improve the business climate for its members and encourage growth in all areas of the self storage industry. Self storage can provide an affordable solution to any situation in which extra space is needed, and just about anything can be stored in self storage facilities. Self storage unit sizes can range from hoarding small items such as old clothing to mementos, to larger units that can store items as large as boats, cars, RVs, and even entire residences!
Our members practice their businesses with the highest level of quality and professionalism. They offer facilities with varying options and sizes to accommodate almost anything you need to store. When you choose a SSAM member storage facility, rest assured that your storage unit will be secure. Many of our members have facilities that contain external gates or fences, password codes or access cards to enter, and security cameras. Search our member database to find a self-storage facility near you.
SSAM is currently transitioning its membership structure to align with the calendar year. During this transition, new members who join now will have their 2025 dues prorated. To simplify the process, you also have the option to renew for the full 2026 membership term at the same time.
Below is a breakdown of the prorated member dues for the remainder of 2025 and 2026 membership rates.
