Note from the treasurer:
2022 winter taxes were due on February 14th 2023. Delinquent tax statements were mailed last week for any parcel that we did not have payments for by the due date. If you received a statement but have mailed a check close to the due date, the interest is still owing. You can find tax payment information on the website on the Tax & Property tab. You can search by Name, Parcel number or address. Click the Tax Information tab and scroll down until it shows the tax history payments. Payments can be made in person, using the drop box in front of the office, on line with a credit card or check by mail.
Please note that post marks are not accepted and all payments received after February 28th 2023 will be sent to Ottawa County Treasurer. On March 1st 2023, Ottawa County is the only place delinquent taxes can be paid.

Note from Township Supervisor regarding potholes on Butternut
As many have noted, Butternut Drive is showing a considerable amount of potholes.
The Ottawa County Road Commission (OCRC) has been trying to keep up with it this winter, utilizing cold patch, as this is the only option available until hot patch becomes available in the spring (April/May).
In addition, OCRC will be undertaking a complete mill and resurface project along Butternut Drive, from New Holland to Lakeshore in the spring/summer of 2023.

*Closed* Board of Trustees – Open Position
*Closed, not accepting applications at this time*
Board of Trustees – Open position
Gerald Smith has announced his retirement from the board of trustees, effective at the end of March 2023.
Gerry has faithfully served the township for 38 years, and his wisdom, insight and involvement will be greatly missed.
This is an elected position, however due to the timing of his resignation, the board can appoint someone to fill the remainder of the term. The appointee would need to run in the 2024 election if they intend on continuing in the position, which would be desired. Applicant should possess good people skills, a broad base of experience, and be a team player.
If you are interested in finding out more information, time commitment and compensation, please contact the Port Sheldon Township Supervisor, Mike Sabatino. (616) 399-6121
