Montgomery County issues a building permit upon presentation of a zoning certificate from Washington Township. The zoning certificate verifies that the proposed building meets setback requirements and land use plans. Washington Township inspects only the location of the footer before it is poured, and the driveway approach to the lot, also before it is poured. Footer, drive and sidewalk inspections should be scheduled 24 hours in advance by calling 433-0796. Montgomery County Building Inspection (225-4622) performs electrical, plumbing and structural building inspections.
Most site plans for lots within Washington Township are kept on file in the Development Services office. If you wish to obtain a copy of your site plan, please call ahead with the name of your subdivision and your lot number or your address. Official deeds and easement information are on file at the Montgomery County Administration Building, 451 West Third Street, Dayton.
The most important consideration is making sure that the proposed structure meets setback requirements. Depending on the zoning district in which you live, required setbacks could be as little as five feet from the back property line or as large as 40 feet from the side property line. A zoning certificate is required for a shed. In addition, residents should contact Montgomery County at 225-4622 to see if a building permit is required for their shed.
A zoning certificate is required for a fence and an application request must be submitted to the Development Services Department prior to installation. Also, Montgomery County requires a building permit if you are planning to construct a concrete wall. Fences should be no higher than four (4) feet in height if located in the front yard nor six (6) feet in height if located in the side or rear yards. Height requirements vary for corner or double frontage lot. It is recommended to contact us for additional information.
While fences may be placed directly on your property line, residents are encouraged to speak first with their neighbor to make sure maintenance of the other side of the fence is not going to be a problem. It is recommended that you have your property surveyed prior to installing your fence. There are several qualified licensed surveyors listed in the yellow pages.
Individual and corporate costume rentals are charged $45 per costume, which includes dry cleaning. A refundable deposit of $45 is also required. Washington Township and Centerville residents/businesses receive a 10% discount off their rental fee; excluding the deposit.
No. According to Ohio law, townships cannot enact an income tax. If you live in a township and work in a township, you are not subject to a local income tax. Cities, however, may impose an income tax. So, if you either work or live in a City that has a local income tax, you would pay income tax to that city.
Generally, most types of work done by a contractor within 12 feet of the edge of the roadway require a permit. The $10 fee covers the cost of inspections, which ensures that the work is completed to township standards. Remember that sprinkler systems, invisible fences and landscaping should be kept fifteen feet away from the street to minimize possible damages during road improvements or utility work.
State Laws regulate the owning or harboring of vicious dogs. In addition, no person may keep or harbor any animal or fowl and fail to prevent that animal from creating noise of such character, intensity and duration as to unreasonably disturb other residents.
Dogs must be physically confined or restrained upon the premises of the owner and must be under reasonable control of a person at all times, except when engaged in hunting.
To report vicious dogs or noisy animals, contact the Sheriff's Office, at 225-4357 or Animal Care Control Officer at the Montgomery County Animal Shelter, 898-4457.

Our stock consists of costumes built for nearly 20 years of THT productions. As we are a theatre for young audiences, we specialize in youth sizes. We have western period clothing from ancient times up to the present. We generally do not have costumes for popular culture characters or costumes from movies or television shows.
If you work in a city you must pay income tax to that city if they have a local income tax. The Township does not receive any of the money. Your employer usually withholds tax for you. Under Ohio law, local income tax is paid: first where you work, and second, where you live.
Our costume rental periods are flexible to meet your needs. As a general rule, we will not charge additional fees for longer rentals vs. shorter rentals. We simply ask that you provide specific dates to the costumer when you place your rental.
The Sheriff's Office is concerned with preventing crime and solving problems in partnership with all township residents. Officers are available to discuss home, neighborhood, business, personal, security, as well as specific topics of safety to the citizens.

For those unwilling to comply, the township hires a contractor to do the work and assesses the property tax.

If you need costumes for a nonprofit organization (this includes theater groups, churches, schools, and community organizations), you may be charged a non-profit discounted flat rate if you follow a few guidelines.
We don't provide fitting space, so you need to send one person (costume designer), armed with measurements, to go through our stock.
Nonprofit rentals are self-service, so the costume designer should have their research in order so they know what they need.
We do not allow trying on of costumes in our racks.
We do allow you to pull extra costumes so you have choices in fittings. If you bring back what you don't want to use before your opening or event date, we will take those items off of your invoice.
The costumes must come back laundered or dry-cleaned with all alterations removed.
Washington Township and Centerville based non-profits receive a 10% discount off their rental fee.

In the event of damage, the renter agrees to pay Town Hall Theatre such amounts as the costumer may determine for repair/replacement of any items.
Many roads, including Alex-Bell, Social Row, Clyo, parts of Rahn, Whipp and Mad River, S.R. 725 and I-675 are plowed by Montgomery County or the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). Those jurisdictions have roads spread over a larger area and sometimes their response times can be delayed.

The Township monitors over 3,000 fixed assets in 7 departments at 40 locations (including the incorporated part of the Township). A bar code tag is affixed to each taggable item and can be scanned for a yearly inventory using a portable scanning device. Items that cannot be tagged are assigned a ten digit tracking number based on location of the item and when it is put into service. The portable scanning device uploads to a computer which keeps a database of current assets.
The reduction factor maintains the existing level of taxes paid on voted millage. The taxing district collects the same amount of revenue that was voted for, regardless of increased property values, except for added value from new construction for the first year. This is known as the fixed income status as a result of House Bill 920, which was passed in 1976 to protect property owners from unvoted tax increases. Under the law, when voters approve a tax levy, they agree to pay a specific amount of money for a specific purpose over a specified time period. A property owner's share of that amount depends on how much their property is worth.
Our costumer will need to know what type of costume you are looking for, general sizing requirements, i.e. adult, teen or child and when you will need the costume.

This problem can be minimized if people shovel snow to a pile on the left side of their drive. In this case, the left side is determined by facing your driveway from the street. It’s inevitable that snowplows will deposit some snow, but this will keep the deposit to a minimum. Also, clear snow from your mailbox so that mail delivery is not interrupted and from fire hydrants so emergency crews can access them quickly in an emergency.
