Welcome to our Election Guide!
The area commonly know as "Beavercreek" consists of two primary government authorities, the City Of Beavercreek and Beavercreek Township. From a resident standpoint, there are few differences... they're served by the same fire department and school system, the tax base is nearly identical, and we all just seem to live in "Beavercreek". The township is served by the Greene County Sheriff rather than the Beavercreek Police Department - this is the most outwardly noticeable difference. If you live in the city - you also live in the township - If you're outside of the city - you're only in the township.
Please familiarize yourself with the candidates and issues presented prior to casting your vote.

Beavercreek Township Information -
As written by Frank B. Zink, "Beavercreek Township is one of the original four townships in this section of the state. It extended as far north as Lake Erie. It is a beautiful valley, fertile, well timbered, rolling and picturesque. It is noted for its fine farms. The high ridge separating Beaver Creek and Mad River is a particularly fine fruit section." Beavercreek Township encompasses 50 square miles of Greene County, and is bordered by Fairborn, Xenia, Sugarcreek, and Dayton. Click here for a list of Township Trustees or for the Township calendar.
Greene County -
Greene County, Ohio, named for General Nathanael Greene, the Revolutionary War Hero, was established in its present boundaries in 1819. When Ohio was admitted to the Union in 1803, Greene County stretched from Clinton County on the south to the then north line of the new state.
The Board of Greene County Commissioners is the general administrative body for county government and serves as the taxing, budgeting, appropriating, and purchasing authority for Greene County.
Departments under their jurisdiction provide a variety of services to the residents of the county. Their duties and authority are specifically outlined in the Ohio Revised Code. Each commissioner is elected at-large to serve a four-year term.
