Duties & Responsibilities of the Sandusky
County Treasurer: |
| |
|
| |
The County Treasurer's major responsibility
is the collection of various taxes. The two most noted and largest dollar
amounts collected in taxes come from Real Property Taxes and Personal
Property Taxes. Other taxes collected by the County Treasurer are
Manufactured Home, Inheritance, Hotel-Motel and Special Assessments. |
| |
|
| |
The County Treasurer is the collector and
safekeeper of all taxes collected in taxing districts such as schools,
cities, townships and villages. As the tax collector for these various
districts the County Treasurer must efficiently and effectively account for
all monies collected in these districts in a timely manner. The faster the
tax dollars can be accounted for the faster the taxing districts can receive
their income from tax monies collected. The taxing districts operate from
the dollars collected by the County Treasurer. |
| |
|
| |
In addition, the County Treasurer receives
all monies collected by various other county departments for fees and keeps
a record of these deposits. Daily financial statements of these deposits are
prepared and submitted to the County Auditor. Monthly financial statements
must be prepared and balanced with the County Auditor. Also, the County
Treasurer redeems all warrants (checks) issued by the
County Auditor. |
| |
|
| |
The County Treasurer invests undisbursed
funds for various periods of time which earns money for the county general
operating fund. In many counties, the dollars earned from investments are a
major source of revenue for the County General fund. A County Treasurer must
continually monitor investments and maintain short term investments to have
enough monies readily available to pay current operating expenses from day
to day. |
| |
|
| |
The County Treasurer must at all times be a
leader in the area of fiscal management and accountability. Accounting
records must be current and accurate. County Treasurers work closely with
Auditor of State Examiners when implementing new accounting procedures or
modifying current accounting principles and practices to enhance and
progress in the area of tax collection accountability. |
