ACCOMPLISHMENTS/GOALSLS

Since joining the Treasurer’s Office in 2016, we’ve made numerous positive improvements.  We introduced Image Cash Letter (ICL) which increased efficiencies and internal controls over our check payment processing efforts. Since being appointed Assistant County Treasurer in 2018, we’ve added web and kiosk property tax payment services providing taxpayers other options to pay real property taxes which especially helped during Covid when everything shut down.  We’ve also helped other County departments implement web payment platforms.  In addition to requesting duplicate bills through a customer service representative or through our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, customers can now request duplicate bills online. Furthermore, I’ve re-negotiated various County Treasurer contracts resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings for Clark County.

 

Currently, we are in the process of updating our 20-year-old property tax system with the intent of providing increased operational efficiencies/customer service options and more robust reporting.  We are also working on a feature to allow customers to print tax billing information from home.  In addition, we plan to introduce kiosk payment services in some of Clark County’s outlying areas.  Furthermore, we’re looking at re-negotiating other Treasurer contracts to help increase savings for the department as well as other County departments.
