Welcome to...
Christian County Treasurer's Office

 

   Karen Matthews
   Christian County Treasurer
   100 W. Church St., Rm 209
   Ozark, Mo. 65721

   Elected to office in 2003

It is the duty of the Treasurer to be the custodian of all revenues paid to the county. In all cases of claims allowed against the county and in all cases of grants, salaries, pay and expenses allowed by law, the check becomes a negotiable check or draft after it has been signed by the treasurer.

The Treasurer’s office effectively manages the county budget of 27.5 million along with 45 million for 13 school districts, 9 fire departments, 7 special road districts, Ozarks Technical College, Christian County Board for the Developmentally Disabled, Christian County Library, Christian County Ambulance, and Senior Citizens Service Fund.

Along with signing checks for our accounts payable department, we disburse property taxes, surtax, financial institution tax and interest, year end interest, natural forest and mineral revenues, capitol school, railroad and utility taxes, and school average.

Our office is happy to say that we have received a clean opinion on our financial statements since I have been in office.

We are here to serve you. Please call the office at 417-581-6369 or fax at 417-581-1191 with any questions you might have. Our email address is karenmatthews@christiancountymo.gov.
