Delaware County Treasurer

Michael Ringle was sworn into the County Treasurer office on Nov. 25, 2019, to fill the unexpired term of Jon Peterson who passed away Oct. 10 after 11 distinguished years as Treasurer.

Ringle received his undergraduate and law degrees from The Ohio State University. He most recently served as deputy legal counsel in the Ohio Treasurer of State’s Office and, prior to that, worked as a state and local tax associate with the international accounting firm KPMG in Columbus.

Ringle looks forward to building on the foundation that Treasurer Peterson laid with the capable and dedicated staff of the Treasurer’s Office to safeguard taxpayer dollars. He also looks forward to working with County Auditor George Kaitsa to continue the cutting-edge cybersecurity practices that safeguard the county treasury and he hopes to invest in technologies that will improve customer experience.

Ringle also plans to explore implementing a “linked deposit” program in the county, which would allow inactive county funds to be deposited with Delaware County banks and used to provide reduced-rate loans. Through this program, he hopes to better enable his office’s Escrow Payment Program to help the county’s more vulnerable residents keep their homes out of foreclosure.

Ringle is a native of Beavercreek, Ohio. He and his wife Emily reside in Lewis Center.
