For the fifth time, Sherri Longnecker took her oath of office Monday morning as the Logan County Treasurer.
Associate District Judge Louis Duel presided over the oath in front of Longnecker’s family, co-workers, and other county-elected officials.
Last April, Longnecker filed for office and did not draw an opponent.
County treasurers are sworn into office the first Monday of July following the general election held in November of the previous year.
The treasurer is an elected constitutional officer with a four-year term and serves as the chief financial officer for each county and administers all county monies.
The treasurer receives, deposits and maintains records for all county monies; redeems county warrants; apportions taxes to various accounts and to local public entities such as schools and cities; keeps records of all payments and expenditures made by the county; and presents county records and financial statements to the State Auditor and Inspector for audit.
The treasurer also receives the annual tax roll and abstract, prepares the ad valorem tax statements, and mails the statements to the property owners. They are responsible for collecting all county ad valorem taxes and may issue delinquent personal and real property tax notices and initiate and supervise tax sales on real property for nonpayment of taxes.
