The Wood County Sheriff’s Office is currently inspecting “street-worthy” golf carts. Ohio Law allows the Sheriff to authorize such licensing in each county, as long as equipment standards are met on each vehicle. To be street legal, golf carts must have headlights, brake lights, tail lights, turn signals, windshield, horn, rearview mirror, license plate lights, and not capable of traveling over 20 mph. An Ohio operator’s license is required to operate the golf cart. There has to be a seat belt for every occupant on the golf cart, children must utilize child restraint seats as required by the Ohio Revised Code, and proof of Insurance must be presented at time of Inspection. Also, your golf cart must have a VIN (vehicle identification number) please know where this is located on your cart and make sure it is clean and readable.
Carts must be Inspected by a deputy at the Wood County Sheriff’s Office. This service is provided to all Wood County residents who seek to operate their golf cart on legal roadways within the areas of the county. Individuals must bring the cart to the Sheriff’s Office at 1960 E. Gypsy Lane Rd. Bowling Green, Ohio 43402. Appointments may be made by calling 419-373-6519. Inspections available by appointment only, Monday through Friday from 9:00 – 3:00. Each golf cart that passes inspection will be authorized to purchase a title and registration from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, along with Ohio license plates to make their golf cart street legal. These plates must be affixed to the front and rear of the golf cart. Golf carts that become licensed will be restricted to roadways that are not divided highways or with speed limits greater than 35 mph.

For a detailed list of legal mandates that are necessary for licensing, safety equipment and more information, refer to Ohio Revised Code Section 4503.10 and 4501:2-1. All carts presented for inspection must meet those standards set forth before being considered for inspection. For questions not answered there, please contact Lt. Rodney Konrad at 419-373-6519.

This inspection process does not apply to ATV’S or UTV’S, only golf carts USV (Under Speed Vehicle less than 20 M.P.H.) types.

Golf Cart drivers also are required to follow the same rules as other drivers. For example, DUI laws and insurance laws apply to anyone driving a golf cart on public roads.

Please keep your sidewalks free and clear of snow and ice this winter.

Sidewalks within the Village that are not cleared of snow and ice of two (2) inches or more within twenty-four (24) hours of any storm are considered a public nuisance. The Village Maintenance Technician or his designee may have such non-compliant sidewalks cleared at the Village's expense and then bill the property owner for these charges. If said charges are not paid within 30 days, they may be assessed to the owner's property taxes. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Residents are to keep weeds/grass trimmed under a height of seven (7) inches and tree limbs from extending over a public sidewalk less than six feet above sidewalk.  When mowing your lawn please avoid discharging the grass clippings and other yard waste into the streets.  When it rains, the waste is washed into the storm drainage system and gets clogged, and when storm drains are clogged due to excessive sediment/debris build up, flooding occurs.

The display of address street number on the front of any residential, commercial or industrial building in the village is required, mailboxes are not an exception as those are a requirement from USPS.  The numbers must be at least three (3) inches in height, but not more than six (6) inches in height, and visible from the public right-of-way.  

Did you know that a mosquito’s life cycle averages about two weeks, but can range from a few days to a month? Eggs hatch when they’re exposed to water. The larva then live in the water, surfacing to breathe air. Pupa form for up to a week, just before the bugs become adults, when their body parts will harden and they’ll begin to fly. Only female adults bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals. Females will feed and then lay eggs directly on water or soil, or at the base of some plants or in places that may fill with water. Their eggs can survive dry conditions for several months. Learn more at https://www.epa.gov/mosquitocontrol/general-information-about-mosquitoes

Preventing mosquito bites
• Use an insect repellent that includes DEET, or another EPA-approved product.
• Wear long, loose, light-colored clothing when possible.
• Remove standing water sources to discourage breeding.
• Limit outdoor activities at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.

Discourage mosquitos from breeding
If it’s full of water, something as small as a bottle cap can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Discourage breeding at your home by removing sources of standing water. Walk around the outside of your home at least once a week and empty any water that’s collected in toys, birdbaths, buckets and other objects. Get rid of old tires and other objects that can collect water.

Larvicides can be used to treat wet areas that will not be used for drinking, where mosquitoes may breed. Wood County Health Department distributes mosquito dunks to residents free of charge. They can be used in areas like rain barrels, pool covers, fountains, septic tanks and gutters. For more information, visit the health department’s Environmental Health Division on East Gypsy Lane Road in Bowling Green, or call 419-354-2702.
