FAQ
  • What does the township do?
    Our main jobs are maintaining township roads and running elections.
  • Who do I contact about property taxes?
    Contact the Otter Tail County Auditor Treasurer's Office for all township related property tax matters.
  • How do I add something to the meeting agenda?
    Please contact any Supervisor the Friday before the meeting, if possible.
  • When is the township election?
    The township election is the 2nd Tuesday in March. Polls are usually open from 5-8 p.m.
  • How do I register to be a candidate?
    The filing period for township offices is open for two weeks, and it ends two months before the election. In general, this means the filing period opens at the end of December and closes the second week in January. Please check News and Announcements for the specific dates for the current year. There is a $2.00 filing fee, payable when you file. The requirements to be an officer are the same as the requirements to be a registered voter of the township.
  • How do I obtain an absentee ballot?
    For Township-only elections contact the clerk. For all other elections, please visit the Minnesota Secretary of State Elections and Voting website for more information on how to obtain your absentee ballot.
  • How do I submit an invoice to the township?
    According to township policy, invoices to be paid this month must be submitted by the first Friday of the month. You may use mail or email. The invoices should be sent to the clerk. Invoices that are not received by the deadline for the month will be moved to the next month.
  • Who should I contact if I still have questions?
    Noxious Weeds - Duane Ard Road Grading - Duane Ard Road Snowplowing - Justin Kirchenwitz Finance - Justin Kirchenwitz or Dawn Lueders Policy & Procedure - Justin Kirchenwitz or Dawn Lueders Elections - Dawn Lueders
