You will soon receive your 2010 Census form in mid March. The form has 10 easy questions that you can answer in about 10 minutes.
It is very important that every person in Clermont County is counted. Every year Clermont County government and organizations throughout the county receive a formula share of Federal dollars for programs and services based on the number of people who live in Clermont County.
