Administration & Distribution of Tax Revenues
During 2007, the County Auditor distributed over $19 million in real estate and personal property taxes collected in Coshocton County to local schools, townships, villages and cities. The Auditor also distributes gasoline tax, motor vehicle license tax and local government monies received from the state.
Accounting for all County Funds
As the Chief Fiscal officer of the county, the Auditor issued over 11,000
checks for $61 million last year to pay county bills and obligations. The Auditor maintains the official record of all receipts, disbursements and fund balances
for approximately 70 county departments.
Administration of County Payroll
The Auditor is the paymaster for over 600 county employees with a total
payroll of about $14.2 million in 2008.
Real Estate Tax Assessment
The Auditor maintains 30,000 county real estate property assessment records
with assessed values totaling over $800 million.
These records are updated daily with changes of ownership and changes of value
due to new construction of property. Property tax reduction programs for
Homestead Exemption, Forestry, and Current Agriculture Use Value (CAUV) are also administered by the Auditor.
Manufactured Home Taxes
Over 2,500 manufactured homes are assessed tax each year by the Auditor. Recent law changes have allowed manufactured homes to be taxed in the same manner as real property is taxed and the Auditor determines the appraised value of these homes.

A vendor license authorizes businesses to sell goods and services to the
public. New businesses must purchase a license at the Auditor’s office. Last year approximately 79 new businesses purchased licenses with the Auditor. The Auditor’s office was responsible for the sale of 7,404 dog and 255 kennel
licenses and 40 cigarette licenses last year.
