Auditor
Biography
The Ohio Constitution of 1802 made no provision for the office of county auditor—it was not until 1820 that the office was created through a joint resolution of the Ohio General Assembly. Initially appointive, the position became elective the following year for a term of one year. In 1919, the auditor’s term of office was increased to four years.
The duties of the county auditor include the annual preparation of duplicate lists of property which are subject to taxation within the county. Taxable property includes real estate, personal, and classified property, and the auditor is responsible for having this property appraised every six years. The auditor also is required to maintain a listing of all delinquent taxes.
The auditor serves as chief disbursing officer for the county. Upon presentation of the proper voucher and the auditor’s certification that funds are available, claims against the county may be submitted to the board of county commissioners for their approval. Once allowed by the commissioners, the auditor prepares a warrant against the county treasury for payment of the claim. In addition, the auditor certifies all monies-except collections on the tax duplicate-into the county treasury, specifying by whom paid and the fund to which such payment is credited.
Since 1820, the auditor has been empowered to perform many diverse duties. The auditor became the sealer of weights and measures for the unincorporated areas of the county in 1846. During the nineteenth century, the county auditor was responsible for compiling and reporting to the state auditor various statistical reports. As a licensing agent, the auditor has issued dog licenses since 1917, show licenses since 1827, peddlers licenses from 1862 to 1935.
The auditor serves as secretary of the budget commission and secretary of the board of trustees of the sinking fund, and is a member of the board of revision. The auditor is required to maintain a complete record of the boards’ proceedings. In addition, the auditor serves on the county records commission.
