The
office of the County Treasurer was established by the Michigan State
Constitution (Article VII, Section 4). The four-year term of the office
is filled by the partisan election. As your Treasurer my office serves
as custodian of all county funds, and as such is responsible for
receipting, recording and investing all money deposited with the
County. With respect to tax dollars, the Treasurer's office
collects delinquent real property taxes and, following a court order,
conducts the sale of properties, which are more than 24 months
delinquent. The County Treasurer also serves as the agent of the
Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund. Through this fund the County is
able to forward to local units the amount of delinquent taxes due on
real property, while we continue to pursue payment of taxes. This
Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund program minimizes the impact on the local
units of government and provides assistance in stabilizing their
revenues.
