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.
My staff and I are ready to serve you
either by phone or when you come to our office.
Sincerely,
J. Steve Welton
Hancock County Treasurer
