The Comptroller provides the public with an independent
treasury function which ensures adequate safeguarding of taxpayer
funds. This involves maintaining custody of County funds, as well as administration
of the County's investment program. The County Comptroller's philosophy
regarding management of the investment program is to ensure the safety of principal,
while providing for liquidity to meet the County's cash needs, as well
as obtaining the highest possible yield. The interest revenue provided by
the County Comptroller's investment program greatly assists in
offsetting the need to increase taxes and user fees paid by Orange County citizens.
The Comptroller is also responsible for the administration of the
County's long-term debt. This function involves providing for the
timely payment of principal and interest, as well as ensuring that
the County complies with its various bond covenants. This helps
ensure that the County maintains the highest credit rating possible
which, in turn, reduces interest costs paid by taxpayers.
The Comptroller collects and administers the six cent tourist development
tax, also known as the resort tax, and the County's public service tax, also known as
the utility tax. The Comptroller also collects parking ticket fines issued in
unincorporated Orange County. Parking tickets can be paid
by mail or in the cashier's office on the fourth floor of 201 South
Rosalind Avenue between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. For additional parking
ticket information, please call our parking ticket specialists at
(407)836-5699.
