Accounts Payable Accounts

This function processes 20,000  warrants for Chelan County and local districts each year, totaling over $65  million in annual payments. Every invoice submitted to Chelan County is reviewed  by the County Auditor for compliance with county resolutions, state law, and  budget authority before they go to the Board of County Commissioners for  approval of payment. Once approved by the Board, the County Auditor issues  payment by warrant. The County Auditor also issues warrants for many of the  local districts in Chelan County such as the fire districts, water districts,  irrigation districts, etc. Payments for these districts are reviewed by the  individual district boards.
