Today, there are 1,308 Townships in Ohio. Since the adoption of the Ohio Constitution in 1851, the basic form of township government has remained unchanged.While township trustees fill their offices on a part-time basis, they are always ready to meet their responsibilities face-to-face and are able to deal effectively with modern problems because of their intimate knowledge of the community, its needs and its people. Township government in Ohio generally offers more personal service, more attention to individual needs, and a better understanding of local problems than any other unit of government.The duties of the trustees, fiscal officer and administrator are proscribed in Chapter 5 of the Ohio Revised Code. Trustees have both limited legislative functions as well as executive functions while the fiscal officer has responsibilities for financial functions. Township trustees are elected to four-year terms commencing on January 1st following the November elections.The Board of Trustees is responsible for the day-to-day operation of township government activities, the township budget and other duties required by county, state and federal law. Many trustee duties are similar to those of city council members in other local governments. Ohio charges its townships with maintaining roads, and overseeing zoning. In addition, Ohio trustees can also set up parks in their jurisdiction, establish fire services and run the township cemetery. Trustees can introduce levies for, and vote to regulate the township services and zoning boards. The trustees make these decisions as a board, rather than as individuals. Show less
