About the Auditor

As County Auditor, it is my job to see that the funds of Brown County are spent legally and that the tax revenues are distributed properly. It is my responsibility to account for the millions of dollars received each year by the county and to issue warrants (checks) in payment of all county obligations, including the distribution of tax dollars to the townships, villages, cities, school districts and library systems as well as other county agencies. The Auditor's General Accounting Department is the watchdog over all county funds and maintains the official records of all receipts, disbursements and fund balances.
