Miami Township, Montgomery County, Ohio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miami Township is one of the nine townships of Montgomery County, Ohio, United States. Elsewhere in Ohio, Miami Townships are located in Clermont, Greene, Hamilton, and Logan Counties. By Ohio law, the township is an unincorporated area that has a board of trustees, but does not have the same authority as an incorporated town, village or city. The township roughly surrounds the town of Miamisburg in southwestern Montgomery County. Although the area is unincorporated, it utilizes local property tax revenue to fund a police department independent of the Montgomery County Sheriff's department. The township also has its own fire department.
The township is highly urbanized in its eastern half, nearest to Miamisburg and Kettering. Township status in Ohio prohibits townships from collecting income taxes from residents; thus, the township has seen higher growth than incorporated towns nearby. The township relies on the nearby Kettering, Miamisburg, and West Carrollton school districts for public school access.
Miami Township is home to the American offices of Lexis-Nexis information systems, a regional office of MetLife insurance, and lies at a major access point to both Interstate 75 and Interstate 675. It is also home to the area's oldest major shopping area, the Dayton Mall and has Southview Hospital, a member of the Kettering Medical Center Network, a Seventh-day Adventist facility.
