Deerfield Township

What Deerfield Township does

Deerfield Township is a local government entity and political subdivision of the State of Ohio, established in 1803 and operating across 16 square miles in the southwest corner of Warren County. It administers municipal services for approximately 40,000+ residents and 1,050+ businesses through dedicated departments covering Fire & EMS, Public Works (220+ lane miles of roadway), Parks & Recreation (460+ acres of parkland and open space), Planning & Zoning, and Stormwater Management; police services are delivered through a long-standing contract with the Warren County Sheriff's Office, which assigns over 20 deputies to a dedicated Deerfield Township Post. The township also operates the Rose Hill Cemetery, maintains an online burial search tool, and runs a Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) launched at the Deerfield Towne Center in June 2021.

The township's operating model blends direct in-person service delivery with a self-service digital portal (choosedeerfield.com) and an ArcGIS-based Interactive Zoning Map Finder for property lookup. Service infrastructure is extended through two subsidiary entities: the Deerfield Regional Stormwater District (created in 2003 as a separate political subdivision following severe flooding) and the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC, approved May 2019) which manages economic development activities. An Economic Development team, led by Director Paul Brehm, drives business attraction, retention, and expansion by coordinating site selection, workforce development, and zoning assistance with regional partners including JobsOhio, REDI Cincinnati, the Warren County Small Business Development Center, and the SBA.

Revenue is sourced primarily from property tax allocations collected by Warren County, supplemented by a recurring stormwater utility fee of $1.92 per month per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU), with the average residential ERU defined as 3,407 square feet of impervious surface and non-residential properties billed by measured area. Intergovernmental and grant funding flows through transportation partnerships with the Warren County Transportation Improvement District (WCTID), the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), and other regional agencies supporting multi-jurisdictional projects such as the $18.6M Fields-Ertel Road Widening Project. The township is governed by an elected Board of Trustees and has 51–100 employees.
