The constitutional officer system that allows the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia to directly elect the sheriff, the commonwealth attorney, the clerk of the court, the commissioner of revenue, and the treasurer is the practice of democracy in its purest form.
The elected post of Treasurer was created in 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.
Virginia’s city and county Treasurers are the chief financial officers for their localities, collecting revenues and local fees, and making payments on behalf of the local government. The Treasurer is responsible for every form of revenue which comes into her/his locality including:
- Real Estate Taxes
- Personal property Taxes
- License Taxes
- Water Sewage Charges
- Permit Fees
- Estimated Business Taxes
- Court, Sheriff and Clerk Fees
Treasurers also manage the investment of local funds and maintain records of local finances.
“I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves.” Thomas Jefferson (1820)
