property?
Your property is an important investment and
improvements add value for you and affect
the look of your neighborhood. Because
outdoor changes to your property - fences,
decks, sheds, swimming pools, etc. - can
affect your neighbors, property owners are
typically required to seek a permit. Visit the
township website at www.concordtwp.com,
and go to Zoning Department, to find zoning
information sheets for common projects that
require approval.
Please check with the Lake County Building
Department (440-350-2636) to determine if
your project also requires a building permit.
Typically decks, sheds over 200 square feet,
and any mechanical work does require a
building permit.

Memorial Day
Please join us at 9:00 am on Monday, May 30, 2022 for a brief
Memorial Day Service at Concord Cemetery, which is located
on SR 608, just east of Fire Station #1. This is a time to honor
and pay tribute to the Veterans buried in our cemeteries and
remember loved ones that have gone before us.

Cemetery Decorations
Please understand that if you are placing sentimental items on
the graves, they may get lost, stolen or damaged; if it’s some-
thing that’s near and dear to your heart, we do not recommend
that it be placed in the cemetery.
