Deed Restrictions: If you do not have a copy of your deed restrictions, you can access the Deed Restrctions on this page - see Phase(s) above. It is very important to review the Deed Restrictions before building, planting, fencing, etc. In addition to the Deed Restrictions, Orange Township has additional restrictions that should be checked for your own protection (call 740-548-5430 x124) or access their website at Orange Township.
If you have any questions, the
trustees will gladly address or assist with your concerns. We do require that any complaints regarding deed restriction violations (1) provide the nature of the violation (2) provide the property address (3) provide your name, address, and phone number and (4) use our
CONTACT page to e-mailed the complaint to us. If you do not include your contact information we will not review or contact violator. Your information is held in strict confidence.

Trash is not to be put out prior to Thursday evenings after 6:00 p.m. for pick up on Fridays. Trash is NOT to be put on the sidewalks. It is also recommended that if a storm or high winds are pending, do not put trash out until the storm passes, keeping your trash from blowing all over the neighborhood. Promptly remove empty trash receptacles from sight along with any remaining items.)
• NO STREET TREES (TREES CANNOT BE PLANTED BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THE STREET.
• NO SHEDS OR STORAGE STRUCTURES
