  • Presence only: the county page lists the township zoning ordinance by title but the ordinance PDF itself could not be retrieved or read, so districts, uses and dimensional rules are not verified here.
  • The zoning officer list is dated 2022 (page header 'lists zoning officers 2022').
  • Clinton County zoning ordinance (2016) does not cover Beech Creek township according to its own municipal list; this claim does not rely on county zoning.
