Duties
The Office of the County Treasurer is a constitutional office. The constitution of Indiana statutory law provides the election of a treasurer of each county in the State of Indiana to collect taxes, and to be custodian for all monies belonging to the county.
It is the policy of the Perry County Treasurer to invest the public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow demands on the various funds and conforming to all statutes and other laws governing the investment of public funds at the county level.
After assessments are provided to the County Auditor from the assessing officials, the Auditor takes those assessed values along with the tax rates that have been set by the County Council and figures the taxes for all real and personal property. The Treasurer then is responsible for the mailing of tax statements for collection and distribution of all taxes generated within the Perry County taxing units.
The Treasurer's duties also include:
- Liquor license clearances
- Permits for transfer and moving of mobile homes
- Collection and distribution of Innkeepers' Tax
- Bankruptcy claims
- Reconciliation of banks checking accounts held by the county
- Maintains a monthly ledger and financial statement
- Serves as Secretary to the County Board of Finance
