Township Government

In Ohio, each county is divided into townships, a form of local government led by three trustees and one fiscal officer. Trustees and fiscal officers are elected officials with four-year terms. To learn more about Milford’s trustees and fiscal officer, please visit the Officials and Contacts page.

State law grants Ohio townships the authority to operate with a basic government structure, and to carry out a broad spectrum of responsibilities. Milford Township manages roads, fire protection, cemeteries, and parks.

For more information on these services, see other pages on this website, including:
