Trustee

The trustee acts as the general banker for the county, serving three primary functions:

• Collecting property taxes
• Receiving and disbursing county funds
• Managing the county's cash flow

Property Taxes

Property taxes are one of the county's most important revenue sources. The trustee sends out property tax statements in October and collects and issues receipts prior to the February deadline. He authorizes a uniform chart of county accounts administered by the county audit division, deposits funds daily and makes disbursements.

Monthly & Annual Financial Statements

The trustee issues monthly and annual financial statements. He is also charged with investing idle funds and working with the County Budget Committee to ensure investments are made according to state law and produce maximum earnings with the highest degree of safety.

Trustee Adds Secure Drop Box for Property Tax Payments

Taxpayers are encouraged to use the drop off box on Courthouse Square at the back corner near the parking lot.
