It requires 7 days notice to property owner and mortgage holder prior to abatement of a nuisance by Township.

On September 25, 2006, the Green Township Board of Trustees adopted a Property Maintenance Code to ensure public health, safety and welfare in so far as they are affected by the continued occupancy and maintenance of structures and premises. All property owners in Green Township are required to maintain their properties in accordance with this code. With normal upkeep, most property owners will have no difficulty with compliance. Below are links to the Property Maintenance Code and the Complaint Form used to request an investigation into violations of the code.
