Welcome to
SHAFER
TOWNSHIP
Hello All,
Well, the summer has been flying by and fall is fast approaching.
Your Shafer township crew has been busy getting projects done throughout our township.
Hoping that the recent storms did not cause damage for any of our residents.
There were some trees down in the area, but we were definitely in better shape than other areas of Chisago County.
School will be starting soon, so please drive carefully and be ever watchful for our children and their school buses. Kids: please watch for traffic and have a GREAT school year!
The class of 2024 are off to their next chapter and we wish all of the 2024 graduates a great and successful future.
All of us at Shafer township would like to thank everyone for your continued support.

About Shafer township
Shafer Township is located in southeast Chisago County, bordered to the east by the city of Taylors Falls and the St. Croix River, which is the Minnesota–Wisconsin border. The city of Shafer is in the southwest part of the township but an administratively separate entity. The unincorporated community of Palmdale is in the north.
U.S. Highway 8 follows most of the southern boundary of the township, turning northeast to travel to Taylors Falls, then across the river to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and leading west to Lindstrom and Chisago City. State Highway 95 (MN 95) crosses the north part of the township, passing through Palmdale and leading southeast to Taylors Falls and northwest to North Branch.
