The Athens County Treasurer is also the Chair of our County Land Bank and has extensive involvement dealing with abandoned and dilapidated properties in Athens County. If you know of a problem property that should be considered for action at The Land Bank, please email the Treasurer.
As your County Treasurer, my goal is to assist Athens County taxpayers in the most efficient and professional environment possible according to the Ohio Revised Code.
