How Bills Get Paid

Every day in almost every County office, transactions take place that will eventually lead to the payment of money by the County for goods or services. These transactions include:

  • The appointment of a defense attorney
  • Ordering gasoline for County vehicles
  • The ordering of office supplies
  • The provision of medical services for prisoners at the Law Enforcement Center
  • Hundreds of other situations

For County employees as well as the vendors who supply products or services the process of extracting a check for payment may appear to be an incomprehensible maze. Hopefully, the following information will help to make this process more understandable.

  1. Who pays our bills?
  2. How often does the County pay its bills?
  3. What is the necessary information I have to provide to get a bill approved?
  4. How long does it take to get a bill paid by the County?
  5. What happens if a bill gets lost in one of our offices?
  6. Who do I talk to if I have a problem getting a bill paid?
