RecDesk Residency Status Update
In the past, households located within Portland city limits, Danby Township, and Portland Township were all considered Residents for registration purposes. Moving forward, only households located within Portland city limits will be considered Residents.
What does this mean for me?
Households outside of the city limits, including those townships, will now be labeled as Non-Residents in our system. However, if your township has agreed to financially support recreation programming, you will still receive a discounted program rate; you will just be classified differently within the system.
New Registration Process:
When registering for programs, you will no longer see a Resident or Non-Resident option under Fee Type. Instead, you will select your township or municipality. This allows us to apply the correct pricing based on where you live and whether your township is currently supporting recreation programming.
What about pavilion rentals?
This update also applies to pavilion rentals. Only households within Portland city limits are eligible for the Resident rate. All others, regardless of township agreements, will pay the Non-Resident rate for rentals.
While some townships contribute to help offset recreation program costs, those agreements do not extend to parks and pavilion rentals because they are funded separately.
