Purchases, rentals, lease purchase agreements and repairs paid from county funds are processed and made through the county clerk's office. The county clerk, or one's designated deputy, serves as the purchasing agent for the county. By centralizing the county purchases within the county clerk's office, the county officers can rely on the purchasing agent to find the best buys available. This system is a means to ensure the public that tax dollars are being spent appropriately, through a regulated, systematic process.

In budget board counties, the budget board has the authority to retain the purchasing arrangement described here or it has the authority to appoint a different officer and purchasing agent to perform county purchasing functions.
