The burn ban has been lifted. Open burning is allowed. All burning requires a burn permit and regulations must be followed.

Per the Governor's orders to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the township office is closed until June 18. The township departments continue to monitor their email and phone messages. We encourage residents to use the drop box, leave phone messages, use email, and our website to download forms. The drop box is located by the front entrance and is secure; it may be used to drop off payments, absentee apps and ballots, request burn permits, land use permits, etc.

Township Board and Planning Commission meetings will be held electronically via Zoom. The public is invited to attend these meetings and details will be posted.

Let's take this time off to practice gratitude, kindness and help keep everyone safe and healthy.
