§ 50057 County Treasurer Small Purchase Authority

• •Counties can let the treasurer handle small purchases (up to $5,000) without needing full approval.
• •The treasurer can do this for things like buying supplies or fixing small stuff.
• •The county auditor must be told about every small purchase made this way.
• •This rule is for quick and easy spending, not big or expensive things.

A county needs to buy new chairs for a small office.

If the chairs cost $3,000, the county can let the treasurer buy them without a big meeting. But the auditor must be told about it.
