Wright County requests your assistance in verifying your address. When you contact 911 and provide your mailing address, it may not always correspond with the physical location of your home. Below, you will find a link that allows you to check if your mailing address aligns with your home address. Please enter your address in the address bar located at the upper left side of the page. If your home is indeed at your mailing address, that is excellent news, as 911 dispatchers will be able to send assistance to the correct location. If there is a discrepancy, please report the issue to the county using the option available at the top center of the page. Thank you for your cooperation.

Wright County GIS Has 911 Address Verification App

In an effort to provide more accurate response locations to 911 calls in Wright County, Wright County GIS has released the “911 Address Verification” application. This application allows property owners to view the address and address point location used to dispatch emergency services. In this application property owners can verify addresses and address point locations, report errors, find information about who creates addresses, and help ensure the most efficient response times for emergency services.

Make sure to click on the “Click Here for User Guide” at the top of the screen to learn more about how to use the application. *Note the addresses found in this application do not always align with properties mailing address*. Please forward any questions you have to wrightcountygis@co.wright.mn.us.

Recycling:  The Township is asking residents to clean their recyclables out.  If there are dirty recyclables on the truck, the load has to be put into the landfill (can’t be recycled).  The Township doesn’t get credit for the recycling that day.


Survey: Wright County is asking for input from residents.  Take the brief 5 minute survey…

Broadband Expansion in Woodland Township:

Woodland Township has been approached by Arvig, a company based in Otter Tail, MN, regarding the possibility of bringing broadband services to our residents. To begin the process, we are currently gathering signatures from interested residents. The Board has made the decision to move forward with this initiative to gauge the level of support for expanding broadband access in our community.

There are four options available for residents to show their support for working with Arvig:

1. Visit Woodland Township Hall to sign a form indicating your support. The form and pens are available for your convenience 24 hours a day.
2. Contact Woodland Township Board Members Barry Pawelk, Dan Domjahn, or Julie Marquardt to arrange a time to sign the form in person.
3. Email woodland.township@gmail.com with your name, address, and a statement expressing your support for broadband expansion.

4.  Sign this online petition: https://www.change.org/p/signatures-from-woodland-township-community-for-broadband-from-arvin-com?recruiter=1336793873&recruited_by_id=08b4cae0-fdb8-11ee-8178-7bf7644c3523&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard_share_modal&utm_medium=copylink

We encourage you to share this opportunity with neighbors who may also be interested in broadband services.


Reminder: Dust Control Forms are due May 1, 2024.  Additional forms are available on the bulletin board at the Hall or by filling out the form on the forms tab.
