About the Treasurer's Office  

The County Treasurer is an office created by the Michigan Constitution to serve as banker of  a county. The functions of the Office of the Treasurer are authorized and governed by the Michigan Constitution, Michigan statutes, administrative regulations and the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. 

As the banker for the county, the Oakland County Treasurer is the custodian of all county funds and collector and distributor of all revenues. As revenues come into the Treasurer's Office from many different local, state and federal sources, the Treasurer disburses those dollars in a timely fashion to ensure the efficient administration of county government. These disbursements include paychecks for county employees, funding for road projects and other county functions.
