A few times per year

some timely information - not inbox clutter!
Emails will include
road and neighborhood service schedules, and

Special announcements
and resolutions.
The township trustees
ask residents and landscapers NOT to blow grass
clippings into the roadways. Clippings blown
into the roadways can contribute to clogged
storm drains as well as being unsightly.
A
reminder to all Concord Township residents...
The Township road
crew picks up brush on the 25th of the month,
March through September. Residents wishing to
have brush collected are to have their brush
ready for pickup on the 24th of those months.
The road crew only canvasses a neighborhood one
time so if your brush is not ready when they
arrive you will need to wait until the next
month for pick-up.

Complete information is available on the
Brush Pick-up page.
Overgrown Yards, Tall Grass, and Noxious Weeds
The Township can mow
areas of overgrown grass and noxious weeds. Residents
must contact the Township office in writing to report
such a situation. The Township sends the land owner a
letter giving them five days to correct the situation.
If the land owner does not comply, the Township staff
will take the necessary equipment to mow the area and
the charges of $100.00 per hour will be added to the
real estate taxes on the property.
Leaf Pick-Up
Leaves are collected each
year during October and November. Leaves should be raked
one foot away from the gutter onto the street to allow
drainage in the gutter. For streets without curbs,
leaves must be as close to the road as possible. Please
do not rake leaves around mail boxes, trees, etc.
Vehicles should be removed from the streets on
collection dates. Foreign objects and limbs must be kept
out of the leaves. Click here to see
the complete Leaf Pick-up policy.
Township residents who do
not live along the planned routes or in a less populated
area can request leaf pick up by calling 937-339-1492.
Outdoor Burning
Recreational fires cannot
be larger than a 4’ by 4’ circle. The flames must be
less than 4’ high and the fire must be attended at all
times. Fires to burn brush or trash are prohibited.
Reports of illegal fires should be directed to the
Regional Air Pollution Control Agency, 937-225-4435.
Barking Dogs and Amplified Noise
Concord Township has
passed resolutions to allow law enforcement officers to
deal with the issues of barking dogs and amplified
noise. A sound amplification system means any radio,
tape player, compact disc player, musical instrument,
etc. that is plainly audible at a straight line distance
of fifty feet or more from the property line. A public
nuisance dog is defined as one that makes frequent or
habitual disturbing noises, barks, howls, or yelps which
are audible at a straight line distance of fifty feet or
more from the property line. Should a resident of
Concord Township experience one or both of these issues,
you should contact the Miami County Sheriff’s Office to
report the incident.
Dead Animals
The Township staff will
remove dead animals from the roadways if they are
Township Roads. Some roads are maintained by the County,
others by the State. Call the Township Office to give
the location of the animal.
Run-down Houses and Buildings
Dilapidated houses and
other buildings pose a threat to public health, so
complaints are handled by Miami County Public Health.
Their telephone number is 573-3500.
Planning & Zoning
Many questions come in
regarding fences, junk cars, construction of
outbuildings, and other similar issues. Concord Township
has its zoning done by the Miami County Planning &
Zoning Department. The number there is 440-8121. If you
want to ask about a situation to see if it falls under
Planning & Zoning, please call the Township Office.
House Number Signs
Concord Township sells
the green house number signs with white numbers. The
single side plates are $6.00 each and the double side
plates are $9.00 each. The numbers are provided at no
additional charge. These signs are highly visible to
emergency service vehicles (fire, Sheriff, ambulance)
and are very reflective in the dark.
Solid Waste and Recycling
The Miami County Sanitary
Engineering Department also takes care of solid waste
and recycling. In addition to their regular services,
they hold periodic “Household Hazardous Waste Days” for
a nominal fee. Please call 440-3488 for more
information, or visit the
Sanitary Engineering portion of the Miami County
website.

Junk cars or other motor
vehicles may not be stored on public or private property
for more than 48 hours. You can see the definition of
