The mission of the Town Clerk/Tax Collector office is to provide the residents and property owners of Hill with efficient, friendly, accurate and timely services and information. I will always continue to try to provide to the residents of Hill my utmost professionalism and to continue to improve on services within my power that can be made available to the community.
The Town Clerk functions that are of high importance include not only processing of motor vehicle registrations, voter registrations and dog licensing, to name a few, but also the preservation, retention and accurate issuance of vital records, preservation of all contracts, agreements, ordinance books and other Town documents, preservation and archival of all Town meeting, local boards and commissions minutes as well as administer the “oath of office” to elected officials and appointees.
The purpose of the Tax Collector function is to collect as much tax revenue as possible through out the year to help the Town meet its financial obligations of each year. The Tax Collector is responsible for the preparation and mailing of the tax bills based on information received from the assessors. The Tax Collector is also responsible for the processing of property tax liens on properties that become delinquent as a way to help protect the revenue base for the Town. As Tax Collector the office also performs the billing and collection functions for the Hill Water Works.
Since I began my career with the Town of Hill in 1995, I have been elected 4 times for 3 year terms each. I have acquired many educational certifications and most recently completed a 4 year program with the NH Town Clerk/Tax Collector Joint Certification Program. This program is specifically designed to encompass legal, ethical and mandatory procedures specifically required of the position of Town Clerk/Tax Collector. By completing this 4 year program I am now a “Certified Town Clerk/Tax Collector.”
I am also actively involved with the NH Tax Collectors Association as an executive board member which allows me to maintain a constant resource and networking opportunity. I feel very strongly about continuing education programs in the area of municipal government. With the constant changing of laws, if you do not continue your education and networking you will soon not have a clue about what the job requires. Therefore, I have pledged to always keep up with educational opportunities specifically relative to the functions of Town Clerk/Tax Collector.
As Town Clerk/Tax Collector of Hill since 1995, I wish to express my great appreciation to the residents and taxpayers Hill for allowing me to serve our community. As one of my favorite quotes goes, “The friendships of those we serve is the foundation of our progress.”
Thank you. It is all of you that make my job so wonderful!
Sincerely,
Desiree L. Mahurin Certified Town Clerk/Tax Collector
