About The Position

The fundamental reason this classification exists is to manage complex collection cases related to revenues such as sales and use taxes, motor fuel taxes, lodging taxes, and business licenses. Cases are referred to the compliance officer based on the need for collections expertise and/or the complexity, unusualness, or difficulty of the case. Major work functions include supervising two or more employees, managing the collections group, processing complaints/protests, managing unusual or difficult collection cases, and preparing for legal actions. The Revenue Compliance Officer differs from the Revenue Examiner in that the Officer manages the more difficult cases, assumes responsibility of difficult cases from Revenue Examiners, follows a case throughout legal proceedings to a final resolution, and supervises a collections staff.
