Ordinances

Franklin Township residents and property owners are reminded not to place encroachments, such as fences, landscaping timbers, trees, shrubs, or any other items within the Township street right-of-way.

Property owners need to be aware that they do not own up to the edge of the roadway. Street right-of-ways vary from thirty-three feet to fifty feet. Residents that are unsure of the width of their street may call the Township Office for further information.

Residents are also reminded that this area is not their property and that the Township has the authority to order removal or to remove, the encroachments from the street or road right-of-way.
