Road work

1. Residents of Tiffin Township should at no time work on the township roads. Residents may be held responsible for damages done to the road. 

2. All damages done by contractors too Tiffin Township roads will be held responsible for damages (i.e electric companies, water, logging). 

 A Trustee does more than cutting brush, patching a hole or removing snow. All of those are done by each of us, sometimes late at night. But did you know we apply for grants, attend government meetings, work with our local Prosecutor on legal issues, manage taxpayers dollars, vote on issues within the county and contact Legislators on laws that will effect townships.  

We take pride on representing Tiffin Township residents with all of these items listed above. 

Experience with government funding, laws and grants are just a few things that are never seen by the residents but essential to the functions of the duty of Trustee and are extremely important to the progress and growth of our Tiffin Township.  

We want to say "Thank You" for your continued support.
