Mission Statement

     In county finance, the treasurer is the cash manager, functioning in a manner similar to a banker.  As cash manager, the treasurer collects all cash received by the county.  These receipts can be collected directly or indirectly received through the Auditor.  The Treasurer's office makes all deposits.  All county expenditures are made by warrant of the county Auditor to the Treasurer.  The Treasurer redeems warrants when presented by the bank.  All transactions processed are posted by fund to the Treasurer's records.  Bank activity of the treasury is balanced with the depository on a daily basis.  The Treasurer provides evidence of this reconciliation to the Auditor on a daily basis to ascertain that both offices' records are in agreement.

     The Treasurer is the chief investment officer of the county.  Through communication with the Auditor, the Treasurer should match investment timing with cash flow needs.  The goal of investing public money is to protect the public money while trying to maximize returns using eligible investments purchased in compliance with the law.

     A primary duty of the county Treasurer is the role of tax collector.  The collection of real estate and manufactured homes (trailer) tax takes place in December and June.  Settlement occurs in February and August.  The Treasurer also collects personal property tax, based on information provided on personal property tax returns.  The collection takes place in April and September with settlement taking place in June and October.  The Treasurer keeps a detailed record of the collection status of each real estate parcel.

     Miscellaneous duties performed by the county Treasurer include maintaining the bonds of several county officials and sitting on various boards.  these boards are the County Budget Commission, the County Board of Revision, the Investment Advisory Board, the Microfilming Board and the Automatic Data Processing Board.
