EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT......
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, THE CLERK'S OFFICE NOW TAKES PASSPORT PICTURES!
The cost is $10 per person.
1. Passports:
Hours of acceptance - 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday when the Township is open.
You must have with you:
1) Passport pictures (the Clerk's Office now takes passport pictures)
2) Certified birth certificate with a seal
3) Naturalization papers (if applicable)
4) Picture identification such as a driver's license
It takes about four to six (4-6) weeks to get your passport, unless you
choose to "expedite" the process, in which case you may receive
your passport in two to three (2-3) weeks. A passport costs $135.00 for an adult,
and $105.00 for a child under 16 years old. The fee to "expedite" your
passport is an additional $60.00 each. Your passport will expire in ten
(10 ) years for an adult, and five (5) years for a child. If you wish to
obtain a passport for a child, you may want to call our office as there
are special rules for obtaining a passport for a minor.
2. Trash:
Township curbside disposal service is supplied by Allied Waste and
the company can be reached at 1-800-959-9067.
Extensive information about recycling and disposal services can be found at:

3. Register to vote:
You may register to vote at the Clerk's Office or any Secretary
of State Office, or by mail. It is important to note that if you
change your address on your driver's license you will be canceling
your voter registration unless you change that also. The reverse is
also true - if you change your voter registration you will receive
a sticker in the mail to change your license. Your voter
registration MUST match your residence. And, if you register to
vote by mail you may not be eligible to voter absentee the first time
you vote.
4. Voting Locations:
The Township has 29 precincts. Once you register to vote you will
receive a voter's I.D. card stating the exact location for you. If you are
currently registered and cannot locate your voter I.D., call the Clerk's
Office at 586 - 731-5102. More information is also available at
https://webapps.sos.state.mi.us/mivote/
5. School Elections:
School elections are administered as part of 4 annual election dates
run by our office. You will vote at the same location for all elections.
If you are unsure where you vote, please call our office.
6. Committees and Commissions

7. Board of Trustees Meetings:
The Board of Trustees meet regularly on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of
every month, beginning at 7:00 p.m. Notice of special meetings and
work sessions will be posted on the website.
