The elected Treasurer of Josephine County administers a successful treasury program for all taxing entities in Josephine County, including Josephine County government. Emphasis is on protection of principal, liquidity and maximum investment returns.
The Treasury Division acts as the County bank and is responsible for the collection, distribution and investment of monies for all Josephine County Funds and 40 trust and agency funds, including taxing district funds. The average monthly balance of monies entrusted by the Treasurer ranged from $30 million dollars to $32 million dollars in fiscal year 2011-2012.
The Treasurer in her capacity as the County Tax Collector respectfully and effectively administers a successful tax collection program for Josephine County following Oregon law and, within those constraints, always choosing the action that best benefits the taxing districts and the taxpayers with emphasis on helping taxpayers avoid foreclosure.
The Tax Division collects taxes for all Josephine County taxing districts.
