Zumbrink Files for Re-Election

Scott J. Zumbrink, Darke County Treasurer, has announced his plans to run for re-election as treasurer.

Mr. Zumbrink has served as Darke County Treasurer since October 1, 1993. During his tenure as treasurer, Zumbrink has been an advocate of investing taxpayer dollars with the safety and security of those dollars being of highest priority. With this principle in mind, he has maintained the goal of maximizing interest income by coordinated investment timing with cash flow needs through cooperation with local banks in Darke County.

He has improved office procedures with the implementation of the option of paying your real estate tax bill by credit card with a convenience fee or by electronic check. Also, he has worked with the Darke County Auditor so that taxpayers can access their real estate tax amount due online at www.darkecountyrealestate.org. This has also served as an asset in collecting delinquent real estate taxes due.

Scott’s educational background of accounting and finance is very beneficial in his position as treasurer. He has a goal of continuous improvement of office procedures to improve answering taxpayers questions and cash flow management. Helping with the achievement of these goals are the continuing education units he has earned over the years from the Auditor of State’s office, the state treasurer’s office, Cleveland State University and Kent State University.

Mr. Zumbrink, his wife, and daughter reside on a fourth generation family farm in Darke County. He is a member of the greenville Kiwanis Club, Darke County Chamber of Commerce and numerous farm organizations. He is also an associate member of the Ohio Township Trustees Association because of his beliefs in grassroots government. He would like to continue serving the taxpayers of Darke County and fufilling the goals he has set forth for the treasurer’s office.
