Since 1949, Poland Township has been a zoned community, to promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the Township.
The Township Zoning Inspector is appointed by the Board of Trustees and is responsible for keeping records of all applications for zoning certificates and action taken thereon and is also responsible for the enforcement of all Township zoning regulations.
Zoning and nuisance complaints should be made in writing to the Township Zoning Office. The Zoning Inspector investigates all such complaints and notifies violators to correct any violations within a set amount of time. Violations not corrected will be prosecuted through the Struthers Municipal Court. In addition, the Zoning Inspector often works with the County Board of Health, the Ohio E.P.A., the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the County Prosecutor, and the Police and Fire departments.
