The office of Auditor-Treasurer is managed under the direction of Kay Mack, an elected county officer.  The four year election terms coincide with the terms of the County Attorney and County Sheriff. 

Kay Mack was first elected as County Treasurer in 1986. In October of 1997 the county combined the two separate positions of Auditor and Treasurer into one position and appointed Kay to the position, but preserved the elective status for the office. The major functions that Kay is charged with overseeing include the accounting functions and creation of financial statements, calculation and collection of property taxes for all jurisdictions in the county, administering elections, coordinating vital statistics and licensing duties, and managing the county's investments.

The Beltrami County Auditor-Treasurer’s office is split by function as well as by location.  When designing the new County Administration Building, the goal of providing direct customer service in the most accessible areas made it necessary for some Auditor-Treasurer functions to be downstairs and some upstairs.
