The elected post of Treasurer was created by the Virginia Constitution of 1870. The Treasurer's independent status as an elected official ensures that local funds will be collected, invested and spent by an officer who reports directly to the people.

The Treasurer is responsible for all revenue which comes to our locality, including: collecting Personal Property and Real Estate Assessments, Business License Fees, Stormwater Fees, Fire Inspections Fees, Estimated and State Income Tax Payments, Vehicle License Fees, and the issuance of Animal Licenses.

The Treasurer is also responsible for managing the investment of local funds and to maintain records of local finances.
