The treasurer is responsible for the collection of some taxes imposed by state law on behalf of the state and also has custodial and investment responsibility for all taxes and other revenues collected by county government. Together with the auditor, the treasurer insures the proper distribution of funds.Generally see IC 36-2-10 for duties of the County Treasurer
