INFORMATION ABOUT THE TREASURER'S OFFICE.

The County Treasurer is an elected constitutional officer with a four-year term.The County Treasurer serves as the chief financial officer for each county and administers all county monies. The County Treasurer receives, deposits and maintains records for all county monies; redeems county warrants; apportions taxes to various accounts and to local public entities such as schools and cities; keeps records of all payments and expenditures made by the county; and presents county records and financial statements to the State Auditor and Inspector for audit. The County Treasurer also receives the annual tax roll and abstract, prepares ad valorem tax statements, and mails these statements to property owners. The County Treasurer is responsible for collecting all county ad valorem taxes and may issue delinquent personal and real property tax notices and initiate and supervise tax sales on real property for nonpayment of taxes.

PROPERTY AUCTION

The Treasurer's office conducts a public auction on the second Monday of each June. The auction is for the sale of real estate due to non-payment of ad valorem property taxes or non-payment of special assessments, such as cleaning and mowing. The sale is open to the public, and all properties are sold to the highest bidder. Lists of these properties become available from our office in May preceding the June auction.

TAX RATES

The County Treasurer does NOT determine the amount of any tax. Taxable values are determined by the County Assessor and the County Equalization Board. Tax rates (sometimes referred to as "millage rates") are set by the Excise Board. Taxes are based upon budgets submitted by taxing jurisdictions, and include the amounts necessary to pay bonded indebtedness approved by a vote of the people.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

All revenues are fully invested daily and are either fully collateralized by government securities or are FDIC insured. Collections are balanced on a daily, monthly, and year-to-date basis which allows the investment of funds to be made with greater accuracy.

After collection, revenues are ultimately disbursed by the Treasurer. Funds are disbursed to the public schools, technology center, municipalities within LeFlore County and LeFlore County Government.

The Treasurer's office is a public office, and we honor an open-door policy. We are here to serve you. Our office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, including the noon hour.
