The elected position of Treasurer was created in the Virginia Constitution of 1870. The Treasurer's independent status as an elected official ensures that local funds will be collected, invested and spent by an officer that reports directly to the people.

Virginia's city and county Treasurers are the chief financial officers for their localities, collecting revenues and local fees, and making payments on behalf of the local government. The Treasurer is responsible for collecting all forms of revenue which come into the locality, including:
Real Estate taxes
Personal Property Taxes
County decals for cars, trucks, and motorcycles
Water/Sewer/Trash fees
Dog tag fees
Business taxes
Court, Sheriff, and Clerk fees

The Treasurer's Office also accepts payments for State Income taxes and Estimated State Income payments. Prepayment plans for County Real Estate and Personal Property taxes are available.
