“This year, by comparison, we expect to collect $8.1 billion in taxes from over a million property owners,” said Mr. McAllister. “We assist over 200 public agencies in San Diego County, and last fiscal year, we reached a record high of $15.9 billion in our AAA-rated investment pool. I’m incredibly proud of what we have been able to accomplish in the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office.”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to the hardworking team in the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office,” said Mr. McAllister. “Thank you for focusing on solutions that put our taxpayers at the forefront of what you do. Your tireless work on their behalf is inspiring.”
