Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner Richard Steele addressed his fellow Rotarians of the Lawrenceville club on October 6 and updated them on developments at the Tax Office over the past year.    He first reminded the group that he was an elected official who had nothing to do with the bottom line of the tax bill.   His job is to advocate for the taxpayers and bill and collect the taxes that have been passed by state, county, and city agencies.  In 2013 his office, with 119 employees and a $11.4 million dollar budget, served over a million customers and dispersed 83% of the General Fund revenue.  Most monies came from property taxes, but Motor Vehicles saw an increase this year because of the new title tax . The office has concentrated on studying four main areas: net cost of operation, motor vehicle transaction costs, collection rates, and payment behavior.  He emphasized that it is cheaper to renew a tag online than it is to come into the office.  He ended by looking to the future, pointing out issues that the legislature may well address and improvements he would like to see made.
