A reminder to residents that parking on the grass in any district is prohibited. All vehicles should be parked on a hard surface. Junk vehicles, vehicles without current plates, or abandoned vehicles should be kept out of sight in a garage or off-premises in order to keep the neighborhood free from the issues that come along with junk and debris.

Boardman Township also has a parking resolution that lists which streets allow parking, no parking, or just parking on one side. Anyone with any questions about their street is encouraged to call the Zoning office at 330-726-4181. To report someone parking illegally, please contact the Boardman Township Police Department at 330-726-4144.

The Zoning Office frequently fields calls about garage sale signs, and garage sales in general. Here is some basic information about what is permitted in the Boardman Township Zoning Resolution:

• Garage sale signs are permitted only at the property of the garage sale. Placing signs on utility pole or any other way on public property is not permitted.
• Garage sale signs can be no bigger than four square feet.
• All signs should be removed within three days of the dates advertised for the sale.

A zoning permit is not needed for this kind of sign. There is no limit to the number of garage sales a person can have per year, nor is there a limitation on the hours or days permitted. As always, though, it is appreciated when consideration is given for neighbors and the community.

Sealed proposals must be submitted by noon on Monday, June 26^th to the Boardman Township Road Department.
