In addition to tax collection and property management, the Choctaw County Treasurer ensures that tax collections are balanced daily, monthly, and yearly. Responsible for adhering to Oklahoma State law, the Treasurer's office plays a vital role in maintaining the county's fiscal health and supporting essential public services.
