Athens County Ohio Treasurer’s Office

The County Treasurer is the chief investment officer and cash manager for the county. He is a member of the Budget Commission, Board of Revision and the Data and Microfilm boards. The Treasurer’s office collects and accounts for taxes paid to the county as well as collecting and accounting for money from other county offices and services. The office is a part of the county’s check and balance system with the Auditor’s office.

The Athens County Treasurer is also the Chair of our County Land Bank and has extensive involvement dealing with abandoned and dilapidated properties in Athens County. If you know of a problem property that should be considered for action at The Land Bank, please email the Treasurer.

As your County Treasurer, my goal is to assist Athens County taxpayers in the most efficient and professional environment possible according to the Ohio Revised Code.
