San Diego County\u2019s Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister<\/a> announced Friday that he will retire in a week, after 23 years in the post.<\/p>\n

McAllister will leave the position on Aug. 2 after holding office for six terms. He last won election, with nearly 75% of the vote<\/a>, in 2022; his current term doesn\u2019t end until January 2027.<\/p>\n

San Diego County announced his retirement in a statement, but did not outline succession plans for the office or a process for deciding how to fill the remainder of his term.<\/p>\n

The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, however, provided members with a copy of a policy<\/a> that governs vacancies of elective county offices other than the supervisor position. Under the current plan, an appointee could be named as soon as Sept. 9.<\/p>\n

The successor would serve out McAllister\u2019s term until the next election. County staff, according to the clerk, will recommend that the board address the issue at one public hearing, rather than narrowing applicants down to finalists for a second hearing. <\/p>\n

The recommended timeline, if the board approves it in late August, includes an application period that would open Aug. 27 and continue until Sept. 5.<\/p>\n

McAllister\u2019s legacy, according to the county\u2019s Friday statement, includes \u201ccustomer service, expanded community outreach and the fiscal health of the county\u2019s treasury,\u201d according to the statement.<\/p>\n

Under his tenure, the county posted a 99% collection rate for property taxes and the county\u2019s investment pool earned the highest credit rating.<\/p>\n

Additionally, McAllister served as a member of the Board of Retirement for the San Diego County Employees Retirement Association, \u201censuring the adequacy\u201d of the $19 billion retirement fund. <\/p>\n

According to the county statement, he also administered the county\u2019s deferred compensation program, providing additional retirement options for employees, with around 13,000 actively participating.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond his one-on-one mentorship of countless individuals from diverse backgrounds, Dan has also demonstrated his commitment to empowering others through education,\u201d the county said.<\/p>\n

He led annual symposiums focused on financial literacy training for county staff and school district employees.<\/p>\n

The second-generation San Diegan, a one-time U.S. Peace Corps volunteer, holds a bachelor\u2019s degree from California State University, Fresno, and a master\u2019s degree in Business Administration from United States International University. \u00a0He also completed executive education programs in portfolio concepts and management at Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Wharton School. <\/p>\n

Prior to his election as San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector, McAllister was a successful financial consultant and investment broker.<\/p>\n
