About Van Buren
Van Buren is a village in Hancock County, Ohio. In Ohio zoning is run by the city, village or township the land sits in, so here that is the village. Building permits come from the village in some places and from the county building department in others. Not every township has adopted zoning, and where none exists the county is the place to ask. The County Auditor sets property values, the County Treasurer sends the tax bill, and the County Recorder keeps the deeds.
