COMMON COMPLAINTS

 The following three items are regular complaints registered with the Township office:

• Property Maintenance: high grass, weeds, vegetation, etc.   (Refer to Chapter 55).

• Vehicles without a current State inspection or license plate.  (Refer to Chapter 143).

• Ordinance: animal complaints.  (Refer to Chapter 69).

  We can process complaints received by telephone, in person, or in writing.

• When a complaint is founded, the Township office must follow legal procedures in order to resolve the matter. At times, these procedures can be quite lengthy. The Township will do its best to keep the lines of communication open and resolve the matter as soon as possible.

• It's always a good policy to talk with your neighbor first when there is a problem. Most residents prefer to have a neighbor approach them personally instead of receiving an official violation notice from the Township.

• When reporting a violation to the Township, you must have the street address of the property.  The Township will not investigate a complaint without a valid street address.

• The Township takes all complaints anonymously and will not release any information that happens to be known about the identity of a person calling in a complaint to the public though this information may be shared with other Township personnel such as the Police Department to further investigate the situation.
