Our Philosophy
The Tax Collector's office, just like a private business, must focus on service to the general public. Toward that end, the office personnel must be courteous to its customers, the office equipment must be modern and up to date in order to keep up with ever-changing technology, and office personnel at all levels should be trained and retrained as necessary to maintain and improve their skills.
The office must provide efficient, accurate, and timely services and information to its clients and to the public. And we must do the job within the parameters of state approved budgets.
