Welcome to the Madison County Treasurer's Office website. My goal in
designing this site is to answer many of the taxpayers' most common questions.
I have organized all information into the categories shown below. Click on
one of the categories to begin your search. I hope you will find the information
both informative and well organized.
The Office of the County Treasurer serves the dual functions of County
Treasurer and the County Collector of funds. The County Treasurer has the
responsibility to receive, invest, and safely keep the tax revenues and other
public monies of the County. The Treasurer’s Office also engages in a
comprehensive investment program for idle funds to earn additional revenue for
the County; investment objectives include safety of principal, liquidity, and
maximum rate of return. The Treasurer also is responsible for the disbursement
of all County revenues as authorized by law or by the County Board.
The County Treasurer prepares all bills and receipts for the purposes of
tax collection in Madison County. The office collects tax revenues on behalf of
all taxing districts in the County, such as local governments, school districts
and other taxing bodies and then disburses the revenues back to them. The
Treasurer does not set tax rates or assesses property tax amounts. The County
Treasurer also is required to receive and record the state mandated inheritance
tax and must report and pay all inheritance tax collections to the Treasurer of
the State of Illinois. The Treasurer is also responsible for reporting on the
status of payment of delinquent property taxes and provides reports to the State
of Illinois and the County Board on financial matters. The Treasurer’s Office
maintains complete records of all the financial accounts of the County.
