Snow removal in Montville Township, Ohio covers 21 square miles south and east of the City of Medina, and part of the city itself lies in the township's northwest corner. The township had 13,131 residents at the 2020 census, about 627 people per square mile (Wikipedia: Montville Township).
One request form reaches a local contractor for driveways, private subdivision roads and business lots anywhere in the township. State Route 18 crosses I-71 at Exit 218 on the township's line with Medina Township, and SR 162 shares Wooster Pike (SR 3) for a stretch before meeting SR 57 (Wadsworth Road).
Montville Township has its own Service Department, which plows the 54.345 miles of road the township maintains. The rest of the 81.345 miles belong to Medina County and the State of Ohio, and no public crew clears a driveway, a private HOA street or a shopping center lot.
How does Montville Township plow its roads?
Township crews start plowing at 4 a.m. after an overnight snowfall so roads are open before school buses run, then salt throughout the day (Montville Township service FAQs). Of the township's 81.345 road miles, the township maintains 54.345, Medina County 12 and the State of Ohio 15.
A 4 a.m. township plow usually means a fresh ridge across the end of the driveway before most people leave for work. Residents with early starts often book driveway snow plowing so the apron is open too.
Is there a snow parking ban in Montville Township?
Montville's trustees adopted a Parking Ban Resolution that restricts street parking during general snow emergencies. The Service Department or the Police Department can have vehicles in violation removed.
A cleared driveway is the legal place to park when a ban is on. Households with more cars than garage spaces can ask the contractor to clear a wider apron or a side pad with a seasonal contract.
What is the right mailbox setup for Montville plows?
The township repairs or replaces mailboxes struck by its plow, but not those knocked down by the weight of snow. It asks owners to check with the post office first and to set boxes 41 to 45 inches above the road surface and 6 to 8 inches back from the curb or road edge.
Plow spray piles up around the post either way. Clearing around the box can be added to driveway plowing, and associations with private streets can use the HOA snow removal page.

About Montville Township, Ohio
Montville Township was named by General Champion, who bought the land in 1818 and called it after the Vermont town where he had lived (Wikipedia). The township was established in 1820, less than two years after its first settlers arrived, and the only other Montville Township in Ohio is in Geauga County.
Austin Badger Park on River Styx Road is named for one of Montville's first trustees and settlers. The township bought the 252-acre former Blue Heron Golf Course in 2015 with a state Green Ohio grant and opened the River Styx Road area in 2016 (Montville parks).
Police, fire and LST staff have worked out of the Ron F. Bischof Safety Services building since 2011. Today the township mixes subdivisions such as Montville Lakes with shops on Wooster Pike and River Styx Road.
Weather and climate in Montville Township
Montville has a humid continental climate. Akron-Canton Airport averages 47.2 inches of snow a season (1991 to 2020), most of it in January (13.4 in), February (12.0 in) and December (8.9 in) (Wikipedia: Akron climate, NOAA normals).
The township lies south of State Route 18, which forms part of its line with Medina Township (Wikipedia: SR 18). The Medina County Engineer says areas north of SR 18 generally get more snow than areas south of it, so Montville often sees a little less than the townships just north (County Engineer highway FAQ).
Central Medina County still sits in the secondary snowbelt (Cleveland 19). NWS Cleveland keeps the Akron-Canton snowfall record back to 1948.

Snow Removal questions from Montville Township property owners
- What ZIP code covers Montville Township?
- Montville Township uses ZIP 44256. Part of the City of Medina also sits inside the township, so say whether your address is township or city when you request a quote; road and parking rules differ.
- What does the Montville Township snow parking ban mean for me?
- Street parking is restricted during general snow emergencies, and the Service or Police Department can have violating vehicles removed. Keep a cleared spot in the driveway for every car; a driveway plowing visit can widen the apron.
- What time does Montville Township start plowing after overnight snow?
- Township crews arrive at 4 a.m. after an overnight snowfall so roads are open before school buses run. That can leave a ridge across your driveway before you leave, which a private contractor can clear the same morning.
- Who plows SR 3, SR 18 and SR 57 in Montville Township?
- The State of Ohio maintains 15 of Montville's road miles and Medina County 12. Concerns about Wooster Pike, SR 18 or Wadsworth Road go to ODOT, and county roads to the Medina County Highway Department.
- Will Montville Township replace my mailbox if the plow hits it?
- The township repairs or replaces mailboxes struck by its own plow, but not a mailbox knocked down by the snow itself. Keep the area around the post clear so plow spray has somewhere to go.
