The 1912 Charter of the City of Sacramento established the Department of Finance as one of five departments having the executive and administrative powers of the city. The department was headed by the Commissioner of Finance who had supervision and control of all financial matters of the city, except as otherwise provided for in the Charter. In 1921, the offices of Auditor, Assessor, Collector, and Purchasing Agent were combined in the Department of Finance. The department was headed by a Controller, appointed by the City Manager. In 1941, the department was reduced to two main functions, the Purchasing Agent and the Assessor-Collector. In 1961, the office of Billing and Tabulation was added.
