Claybanks Township Hall

Welcome to Claybanks Township Hall, the heart of local governance for Claybanks Township, located in the scenic expanse of Oceana County, Michigan. Situated at 7577 West Cleveland Road, New Era, our township hall serves as the central hub for community engagement and local government operations.

Established in 1855, Claybanks Township was one of the original townships of Oceana County, with its borders being finalized in 1866. Over the years, our township has transitioned from a community dominated by small family farms to a serene rural bedroom community, surrounded by lush farmland and vibrant natural habitats. Our mission is to ensure sustainable development that respects the land and resources of our township.

Our website offers a convenient portal for various services, including online applications for burn permits, available 24/7 at [www.michigan.gov/burnpermit](http://www.michigan.gov/burnpermit). For those preferring to apply by phone, our lines are open from 8 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week.

As a vital part of our democratic process, the Early Voting precinct canvass will take place at 100 State Street, Hart, MI, starting after 8:00 p.m. We encourage residents to participate in the upcoming 2024 Michigan Primary Election on February 27th, 2024. Absentee ballot applications can be obtained from the Township Clerk.
