The
Lucas Co. Recorder’s office has military records going back
to the Civil War for those who filed a copy of their discharge papers
with the county. All residents who are veterans should file a copy
of their DD-214 discharge papers with the Recorder's Office so that
when a veteran dies, the appropriate government response will be
received by the surviving family (for example, an American flag is
given to the family, among other things). Those who cannot find their
DD-214 papers may obtain copies from National Military Personnel
Records Center (http://usgovinfo.about.com/bldd214.htm). There is typically a 30-day response time. If a copy has been filed with the Lucas Co. Recorder's office, you may request a certified copy through your township Trustees at no cost. In addition, the Lucas Co. Recorder’s office has all deeds, releases, and mortgages from 1985 to the present available online. If you need a copy of one of these documents, a fee is charged per page at the Recorder's office. However, if the request is funneled through your township Trustees, the copies will be provided at no cost. Request forms for each of these types of documents - military discharge and deed request - are available here in ".pdf" format. Once you download and print the appropriate form, please fill it out completely and give it to your township Trustee. |

Most people are aware of the need to recycle old newspapers and pop cans. But there are also recycling and disposal options for computers, cell phones, paint, pool chemicals, tires, aluminum can pull-tabs, hearing aids, sporting equipment, eyeglasses, and more! For detailed information, click on Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful to visit their website. Recycling
is strongly encouraged, and bins for resident use are located near
the airport on Airport Highway, just East of State Rte. 295. The bins
are not easily seen from Airport Highway, so look carefully
for the paved access road on the South side of the highway, about
half-way between the entrance to Toledo Express Airport and State
Rte. 295 (in the cleared area immediately East of the woods). Click

On
Aug. 25, 2008, the Trustees passed a resolution adopting the new
law RC 505.871, giving them the authority to address junk motor
vehicles located within the township. After following the proper
steps, the board may remove, or cause to be removed, the junk motor
vehicles from the property. A junk motor vehicle is defined as
a vehicle that is 3 model years or older, is apparently inoperable
and is extensively damaged. All expenses incurred in the removal
of junk vehicles will be included on the tax duplicate for the
property where the junk motor vehicle was located.

NOTICE
- Swanton Township
|
Swanton
Township is seeking good people to serve on both the Zoning Commission
and the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). The Zoning Commission meets
once a month and they are charged with the responsibility of acting
on requests for changes to zoning classifications, changes to the
text of our resolution and recommending action to the Board of
Trustees. They also act on site plan submissions. In contrast,
the BZA meets 4 times per year and more if hearings are requested.
BZA members hear all zoning appeals that may arise and determine
the outcome. Knowledge of the township zoning resolution is required
but can be obtained on the job. This is a great way to be involved
without a big time-commitment. Applicants should send a letter
of intent to Township Trustees C/O Swanton Township, 13410 Airport
Highway, Swanton, Ohio 43558.
**We will keep your letter on file if there are no current openings. |
