Duties of the Trustee

The Trustee is the banker for Anderson County.   The Trustee's Office collects all local taxes as well as flow down dollars from the state and federal government.   This money is then placed into local short-term investment accounts to collect interest until it is spent by the school board or county commission.   These temporarily idle funds generate several hundreds of thousands of dollars for the county.   We keep a daily and monthly balance of all accounts and report our activities to the county legislative body (County Commission) each quarter.   The Trustee is also charged with administering the tax relief and tax freeze program offered by the State of Tennessee for elderly residents and disabled veterans.
