The Office of County Auditor was
created in 1870 as part of a revamping of county government. The duties of the
office covered areas that had previously been given to the County Judge in 1851,
in the first Code of Iowa, and then to the Clerk of Court in 1861, with the
formation of the Board of Supervisors. The State legislature added the duties
of Commissioner of Elections in the early 1970's.
The County Auditor is an elected
position, with a term of four years.
