    County Auditors closely interact with other governmental offices.

    Counties, cities, school districts and other forms of government rely heavily on local property taxes to provide services to the public. County Auditors compile budget data from all jurisdictions that levy property taxes to determine the taxes paid by each property owner.

    County Recorders provide Auditors with information on real estate transactions so that the Auditor can keep accurate plat maps and property transfer records.

    County Assessors determine the value of each parcel of property in the county and pass these values to Auditors for the computation of tax rates and individual tax amounts.

    The Auditor passes the tax list to the County Treasurer, who collects the taxes for all property taxing bodies.

    The Auditor works with the Iowa Departments of Management and Revenue and the State Auditor regarding tax and finance matters.

     

    The Auditor works closely with the Iowa Secretary of State regarding elections and  voter registration.
