The Zoning Board and the Planning Commission for Akron Township is a single committee staffed by eight township residents. This board is made up of members who have an interest and concern for the long-term health of Akron Township.

This board worked diligently to develop a master plan for the township in 2002. Akron Township has been a zoned community since the 1970s. Several modifications have been made to the Akron Township zoning ordinance through the years. A major modification and update was made in 2009. Each year zoning ordinances are reviewed and any necessary minor modifications are made to make sure that it is current and serviceable to all residents of Akron Township.

The zoning administrator is responsible for issuing permits to any resident doing any building, remodeling or significant improvement to their property and making sure that these projects fit within the constraints of the zoning ordinance.
