The Town Treasurer plays a vital role in Vermont municipal government. They are a key player in keeping the Town’s financial accounts, investing Town money, keeping a record of the taxes voted on and paying the bills when orders to do so are properly submitted.

An equally important role is the largely unwritten one of interacting with other Town officials so as to insure that the Town finances run smoothly. 

Put simply, the town treasurer handles the finances and keeps the accounts for the municipality.
