Deerfield is an unincorporated township. Warren County and township systems both matter, so confirm exact jurisdiction, school boundary, zoning and service provider for the property.
For any home you are seriously considering, verify zoning, tax district, utility providers, road responsibility, HOA or condominium obligations, and any parcel-specific restrictions using the current public records for that address.
