From the Chair of the Deer Park Charter Commission:

 Since being elected in November, the fifteen volunteer members of the Deer Park Charter Commission have been working towards drafting a charter for Deer Park. For those who may not know, a charter is like a constitution for a city: it sets out the general outline of how your government will function on a local level. Having a charter provides local control of the basic structure and function of a municipality. Without a charter, a city has to follow the structures set forth by the General Assembly in Columbus. In short, a charter gives the residents and public officials of Deer Park direct and local control over how their government will function.

The elected members of the Charter Commission have submitted a DRAFT charter, for the Public Review & Input stage of the process.  Please see the Government Tab, and then the link for page for the Draft charter, including letter from the Charter Commission Chairman. Deadline for this stage of public input to the Commission is June 1, 2020. 

Due to COVID-19, the deadline to file your City of Deer Park taxes and have any balance due paid has been extended to July 15, 2020. For safety reasons, the City & Tax Offices are currently closed to the public.  City
