Board and Commission Openings
If you are interested in serving on a township board or commission, please fill out the application and return it in person at the township hall or by email to supervisor@oakfieldtwp.org. There are currently openings on the Zoning Board of Appeals and Historical Commission.
The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) makes interpretations of the zoning ordinance, hears variance requests, hears appeals from administrative determinations by zoning officials, hears appeals from special land use and planned unit development decisions, and other matters assigned by the zoning ordinance. The ZBA only meets as needed, which is typically twice a year.

Radon Action Month
January is Radon Action Month and the Kent County Health Department is giving away free radon test kits.
The free radon test kits will be available at Kent District Library and Kent County Health Department locations while supplies last. You can find a KDL branch near you by visiting kdl.org or calling 616-784-2007.
Question of the Month:
Why do you ask for my phone number on the tax bill?
There are several common errors people make when writing a check, and once the check is signed, we are unable to alter it in any way. We need to be able to contact you in order to rectify the problem.
Listed below are the most common errors:
-
There is no date or the wrong year is written, especially after the first of the year.
-
The written amount and the numerical amount do not match or one of them is left blank. The written amount is what the bank will accept.
-
The check is not signed.
-
The check is made out to the wrong township.
Just a reminder, the 2024 winter taxes must be paid by
5:00 p.m. on Friday, February 14, 2025 in order to avoid any penalties or interest.
Even though the township office is closed on Fridays, the treasurer's office will be open on Friday, February 14 from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
If you have any questions, the treasurer can be reached by calling the township office at 616-754-5679.
