Township Loan Program Application

About the Township Loan Program

The Williams County Board of County Commissioners have approved a loan program for townships to assist in the completion of improvement projects. Up to a total of $1 million in loans, with a maximum individual award of $250,000, may be awarded to Townships in a fiscal year.

Only Townships located within Williams County are eligible to apply. Organized Townships must have been levying at least nine (9) mills for a minimum of three (3) consecutive years in property taxes for the Township’s general fund prior to loan application to qualify; this requirement does not apply to Unorganized Townships.

To review the full program details, terms, and conditions, please visit the Township Loan Program webpage.
