Clay County Sheriff-Collector

Description

The sheriff-collector serves as both the chief law enforcement officer and the collector of property taxes within the county.

The sheriff-collector is in charge of county jails, and is sometimes called upon to serve subpoenas, protection orders, or eviction notices. The sheriff-collector also bills and collects county property taxes.
