Tenant Registration

Why Register Your Tenant

Per Ordinance Number 224, Marshall Township requires all landlords register their tenants for two very simple reasons…Safety and Taxes! The Township is required to provide the Police and Fire Departments with a list of rental properties and their occupants in case of an emergency. We already know the occupants of units that are privately owned but rental units are always changing.

In the past, the Township has lost revenue because some renters have ignored their duty to pay wage taxes for the municipal services they benefit from. It is very important to everyone who resides in Marshall Township that all tax money is collected. This helps assure that we can keep taxes in Marshall Township to a minimum and still maintain the levels of service to which you are accustomed.
