Officials work extremely hard to make sure property owners comply with the Rules and Regulations of the Township. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer than anticipated. Once an alleged violation is reported Township Officials immediately go to work on identifying the appropriate department to oversee complaint.

An inspection of the reported property is performed in order to understand the severity of the complaint.  The property owner is then sent a notice to comply and given a specific timeframe to cure the violation.  If a violation is not cured by the timeframe Township Officials then issue a summons to court.

A process of this nature could take anywhere from 60-90 days. During that time Township Officials continue to urge the property owner to correct the violation.  The Township understands the frustration it may pose on the adjoining property owners that may experience the slow timeframe for neighbors to cure violations.

The Township strives in making Buena Vista Township a wonderful place to live and encourage all residents to be mindful of their neighbors and of the rules and regulations of the Township. For questions and concerns, please contact the Township Clerk’s Office at (856) 697-2100 ext. 1.
