Experience Bellevue Township

The first settlement in Eaton County, Bellevue Township is nestled at the southern border and named because of the beautiful view observed by early settlers, reflecting the quiet, pleasant life of small town America. 

We would welcome your visit our close-knit community full of historic sites, village shops, natural parks and friendly residents. Walking through Bellevue is a great way to spend a day!

 The Village of Bellevue is located within Bellevue Township and contains our downtown area. The Township offices are located on Main street, nearby the township Library and many of our local shops and attractions. 

 

WARNING

It has been reported that someone approached a Village resident claiming to be the assistant assessor and demanding entry into their house. Please be aware that the assistant assessor who has been visiting properties in the Village WILL NOT ask to enter your house! He is measuring and/or photographing building exteriors only! His vehicle is marked and he will have identification. The incident has been reported to the police. If the assistant assessor visits your property and you have any concerns, please call the assessor, Dan Brunner, at 269-964-9167, or the Bellevue Twp. Office at 269-763-2989. The project is nearing completion and we will post here when the property visits will be concluded.

RIVERSIDE CEMETERY

Water is on for the summer. Please remember that flowers and any other items left on graves must be on the headstone to prevent items from being damaged (or causing damage) during lawn mowing and weed whipping. This is especially important for hard objects like painted stones, which will become dangerous projectiles if hit by the maintenance equipment.

Any items which have become damaged or deteriorated from exposure may be collected as trash by the cemetery maintenance crew. This includes plastic flowers or flowerpots which may have been blown off graves during inclement weather. Bellevue Twp. and the maintenance crew are not responsible for items that are moved or stolen. Riverside Cemetery is open to the public and there is no way to monitor activity at the cemetery when the maintenance crew is not there.
