Mission

The County Treasurer collects all revenues received by the County, provides reporting for balancing, revenue, and expenditures for all taxing authority funds and financial accounts. Additionally, the County Treasurer administers the collection of taxes on real and personal property.

The County Treasurer also directs the cash availability and investment strategy. Because safety of county monies is extremely important, the county treasurer keeps abreast of trends in fraud and takes measures to protect the county’s financial assets.
