Treasurer/ Collector

Treasurer Role & Responsibilities

The treasurer is responsible for the turnover, investment and disbursement of municipal funds. This official works with the community’s financial advisors, and manages banking services and the issuance of debt. Preparing financial reports and complying with state reporting requirements is another important responsibility.

 

Collector Role & Responsibilities

The municipal collector is responsible for printing and mailing property tax bills, handling cash receipts and collections, and issuing refunds for over payments. In some communities, the collector receives and processes all payments due the municipality, such as water or sewer bills, liens and betterments, and payments for code violations. The role of collector can sometimes be combined with that of the treasurer.

It is also requested that the employee detail questions they may have when arranging the appointment so that the Treasurer/Collector may do any necessary research prior to the appointment. If a question isn't thought of in advance and requires research, the Treasurer/Collector will research it and happily follow up with the employee.
