Albert Township has long been committed to environmental stewardship and preserving the natural beauty that makes our community special, including our lakes, rivers, forests, and outdoor spaces. Our ongoing blight enforcement efforts support that mission by helping protect property values, public health, and the overall appearance of our township.

Blight issues create environmental concerns, impact neighboring properties, and negatively affect the image of the entire community. By working together, we can continue to keep Albert Township clean, welcoming, and beautiful for residents and visitors alike.
