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.
