What is a county auditor what are his
duties and responsibilities?
With a new county official to be
appointed this coming week, citizens may
wonder just why an auditor is necessary
and what his duties will be
District Judge Mike Metcalf, who
makes the appointment of an auditor,
said the official will make monthly reports
to the county judge and commissioners,
and assists the county officials in
preparing a budget It will cause a
change in the way county business is
accomplished," he pointed out
As defined by the statutes, he has
broad powers in enforcing the law
governing county finances. The law
presides for the auditor to be appointed
by the district judge for two years at an
annual salary of not more than the salary
paid the tax assessor collector That
amount in Deaf Smith County is $12,495
