Township Government

Courthouse
Township government is responsible for township assistance, abandoned cemetery care, and for providing funding for fire and medical emergency protection.  Some townships also fund cultural and recreational services.

Township government is funded from several sources: general property tax, county option income tax, financial institution tax, auto and aircraft excise tax and commercial vehicle excise tax.  The township board is authorized to set a tax levy rate necessary to generate the amount the township board determines is needed for township functions.
