Batavia Township

What Batavia Township does

Batavia Township is a political subdivision of the State of Ohio located in Clermont County, serving approximately 27,660 residents (2020 Census) across 41.6 square miles, making it the fastest growing township in Clermont County between 2010 and 2020. The township was incorporated in 1842 and is governed by an elected Board of Trustees and Fiscal Officer, with an appointed Administrator handling day-to-day operations. It delivers core municipal services including road maintenance, snow removal (with trucks deployed within 15-30 minutes of call-out), cemetery operations, zoning and land use administration across 11 zoning districts, and safety services via a contractual agreement providing eight dedicated Clermont County Sheriff's deputies and coordination with the Central Joint Fire-EMS District.

The township's operational technology stack is built entirely on third-party, off-the-shelf platforms: an iWorQ-powered online permit portal for commercial and residential zoning applications and picnic shelter reservations, SignUpGenius for facility reservations, the Republic Services app for waste collection coordination, and Duke Energy billing systems for the energy aggregation program. The 71-acre Community Park functions as a flagship recreational asset with a disc golf course, splash pad, dog park, baseball complex, pickleball courts, and walking trails, while partnerships with UC Clermont, the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce, and ODOT extend the township's service and infrastructure footprint.

Batavia Township's revenue model is anchored in recurring property and local taxes, supplemented by transactional fee streams including zoning permits, cemetery lot sales and burial fees, transient vendor permits ($150/90 days), picnic shelter and meeting room rentals, and administrative value from the voter-approved 2017 energy aggregation program administered through broker Energy Alliances. Waste collection is delivered via a sole-source contract with Republic Services running through October 2026. The township explicitly does not levy an income tax on residents or businesses, which functions as a primary competitive lever for attracting both households and commercial development.
