Duties of Kane County
Treasurer
The County Treasurer
has the duty and power to receive and safely keep the revenue and public
monies of the County. The County
Treasurer must keep an
account of all monies received. The County Treasurer
also keeps accounts of all monies paid out, stating the time, to whom payment is made, and on what account payment has been
made. The County
Board must authorize
all payments, or they must be specifically authorized by law. It is also the
duty of the County
Treasurer to invest and
reinvest any funds which are not to be used within 30
days. The County Collector is charged by the County Clerk to collect all of
the taxes levied by approximately 270 local taxing bodies within Kane County.
Upon receipt of the collector books from the County
Clerk, the County Collector
prepares tax bills for real estate taxes within the County and mails them to
owners of record. Distribution of tax receipts is made at least monthly to
the various taxing districts during the collection period. Along with the
collection of real estate taxes, the County Treasurer
also collects the Mobile Home Local Service Tax and administrates for the
Department of Revenue the Senior Citizens real estate tax deferral program.
