The Washington Township Trustee’s Office serves nearly 40,000 people in Allen County and Fort Wayne, providing fire protection for unincorporated areas, providing assistance to those who qualify and face emergency situations, and ensuring proper recreation activities for those in and around the township. We are here to serve you and your needs, whatever they may be.

If you are in need of Township Assistance, please first contact our office to ensure that you are a resident of Washington Township. We service the majority of NW Fort Wayne, although to ensure that you are indeed a resident, it is best to confirm. 

The Washington Township Trustee's Office works to ensure that our residents are treated with respect and dignity as they face challenging times in life. If we are unable to assist in the office, it is our pledge to refer those in need to those able to offer the best care and assistance. 

Our Pledge

 

"The Washington Township Trustee’s Office works every day to ensure that our residents are served as well as possible. It is our job when providing assistance to aid in situations where someone is seeking a hand up and not just a hand out. We balance the work of protecting the taxpayer dollars that we are given and our obligation to relieve those living in poverty who wish to escape its captive grip. Through our work, and the work of our countless community partners, we are working towards a stronger and happier township void of the generational poverty that keeps so many families down. We will work to serve you, and those who depend on you, with dignity and fairness."
