The Cowlitz County Treasurer is the custodian of all funds for the county and its junior taxing districts. The Treasurer’s Office operates much like a bank and fills a major role in the financial operations of local government.

All monies collected by the treasurer are accounted for and disbursed with a monthly report to all units of government, with all receiving their proportionate share. Funds not required for immediate expenditure are invested for the benefit of each unit of local government.


The treasurer conducts bond sales for schools and other junior taxing districts, holds public auctions to sell surplus county property, issues mobile home moving permits and decals, and provides notary services relating to county business.

More information about the Treasurer’s Office:
 
The tax collection section responds to questions in areas of property tax and assessment amounts, and excise tax on real estate and mobile home sales, as well as foreclosure action.

The accounting section responds to questions in areas of reporting to the junior taxing districts and a host of other related questions.
