Services

The Candor Town Hall is located on Town Hall Road, between Vergas and Detroit Lakes, MN

Candor Township is responsible for providing many services to its residents. The details of township services are written up as policies and approved by the Township Board.

As a township our biggest responsibility is our roads. Making sure they are maintained year round. Keeping the ditches clean and brushed back.

Supporting our local Fire and Rescue departments is another major part of our responsibility. We are part owner in the CDH Vergas Fire and Rescue and are very proud of the men and women who volunteer their time to protecting our community.
