The Treasurer serves as custodian for all public funds within the City-County of Butte-Silver Bow. The activities of the Treasurer's Office involve the collection of all City-County monies, (cash, check, credit, wires, and electronic funds). Those collections include, but are not limited to, property taxes (real, mobile home, personal, centrally assessed and protested), license fees (business, liquor and motor vehicle), intergovernmental monies, School District funds and burn permits. The Office maintains contract payments from tax deed property sales, for both owner-redeemed and publicly purchased properties, as well as maintaining contracts from bankruptcy proceedings. The Treasurer also follows all laws and statutes relating to tax deeds and assignments, ensures the distribution of collected monies to appropriate entities, invests idle funds and submits various State reports on a monthly and yearly basis. Motor Vehicle directives for procedures come from the Title and Registration Bureau, State of Montana, Department of Justice. Assurances must be made that laws, applications, and procedures are being observed and enforced. Accurate records are critical because the information is accessed by Law Enforcement Agencies.
