Treasurer

County Treasurers are required to take an oath to support the US Constitution and the State Constitution of Iowa.  There are four main functions of the office: 

Driver’s License - issue all types of identification cards and driver’s license needs. 

Motor Vehicle – process title transactions, registration renewals and multiple other functions.   

Property Tax – collection and disbursement of property taxes and state credits.

Financials – balance with millions of dollars, multiple funds, accounts and payroll, as well as process payments for all county offices. 

Many of the office policies and regulations are mandated by the Iowa DOT.  Each State of Iowa legislative session brings specific laws that have effects on our procedures, rules or methods that we must carry out and educate our constituents of these important requirements. 

It is our duty and obligation to the citizens of Shelby County to maintain fiscal accountability.  The Treasurer’s Office balances in accordance with accounting principals required by the Government Auditing Standards, as well as internal controls over financial reporting with the State auditing firm.
