Dayton, OH, November 9, 2026 — Washington Township officials have announced an open call for residents interested in serving on two crucial local government bodies: the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) and the Zoning Commission. These volunteer positions play a significant role in shaping the township’s development and land use policies.

The Board of Zoning Appeals typically handles requests for variances from zoning ordinances and reviews specific land use applications. The Zoning Commission, on the other hand, is generally responsible for recommending amendments to the township’s zoning ordinances and reviewing preliminary plans for major developments. Both boards require dedicated individuals who can commit time to reviewing proposals, attending meetings, and making decisions that impact the community.

To be considered for a position, applicants must be residents of Washington Township. Further specific qualifications or experience requirements beyond residency were not detailed in the announcement. The deadline for submitting applications is December 4.

The township has not yet specified the number of open positions on either board, nor has it provided details on the typical meeting schedules or terms of service for these volunteer roles. Interested residents are encouraged to inquire about the application process and any specific duties associated with each board.

Serving on these boards offers residents an opportunity to contribute directly to local governance and public service, influencing the future landscape and regulatory framework of Washington Township. The specific application process and where to submit applications were not immediately available, but residents are advised to seek this information through official township channels.
