It has been a terrific bonus to be the deputy treasurer of Whitewater Township, prior to running for the office of treasurer. I have been through the winter 2007 tax collection cycle, and will be in the midst of the summer 2008 tax season by the August 5 primary election. Since the role of tax collection agent is the priority of the treasurer, the experience of participating in a full year of property tax collections is vital to the success of the person in office.
I have written a brief how-to manual for our township's tax cycle, which I hope to polish this summer as the tax season progresses. It is amazing how many steps are involved in correctly and lawfully collecting, documenting and distributing property tax dollars.
I am also creating a master calendar for all of the township's cash receipts, as cash management is another priority of the treasurer. This calendar should assist the treasurer in planning for cash inflows throughout the year.
