Nature of Work
The
fundamental reason this classification exists is to manage complex collection
cases related to revenues such as sales and use taxes, motor fuel taxes, lodging
taxes, and business licenses. Cases are referred to the compliance officer
based on the need for collections expertise and/or the complexity, unusualness,
or difficulty of the case.
Major work
functions include supervising two or more employees, managing the collections
group, processing complaints/protests, managing unusual or difficult collection
cases, and preparing for legal actions.
The Revenue Compliance Officer differs from the Revenue Examiner in that
the Officer manages the more difficult cases, assumes responsibility of
difficult cases from Revenue Examiners, follows a case throughout legal
proceedings to a final resolution, and supervises a collections staff.
The incumbent must exercise considerable
independent judgment and initiative in the interpretation of ordinances and
state and federal laws pertaining to revenues.
The Revenue Compliance Officer is supervised by the Assistant Revenue
Manager.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in public or business administration and four (4) years of experience performing debt collection and investigation work, which includes the management of a wide range of delinquent accounts and the use of a variety of recovery methods ranging from payment plans to court action.
Qualifying experience can be substituted for college education on a year for year basis.
