Basis & limits — read this first
Basis: approved FY2026 budget figures, from the county's approved budget summary sheets. This is not a full budget book. No full budget book was found, so this dashboard does not present narrative, staffing, capital-plan, or program detail that a full book would carry.
What the summary sheets do contain: a department-level General Fund expenditure list, an other-funds expenditure list, and revenues stated by fund. What they do not contain is listed in What the sheet does not show — those items are omitted here, not estimated.
Every total on this page was sum-checked against its shown parts, and every total matches exactly. Shares shown are computed from the stated figures (amount ÷ General Fund total).
General Fund by group
Grouping is this dashboard's presentation of the sheet's 45 General Fund lines; the groups partition the full General Fund exactly, with no line counted twice and none left out. Scroll sideways on a phone if needed — the first column stays fixed.

Revenues by fund
Revenues are stated on the sheet by fund only — there is no breakdown of General Fund revenue by source (taxes, fees, intergovernmental) on the sheet, and none is shown here. Total revenues equal total expenditures.
| Fund | Approved FY2026 |
|---|---|
| General Fund | $32,948,520 |
| Law Library / Clerk Tech / Revolving Loan | $76,045 |
| Confiscation Assets Fund | $11,050 |
| Emergency 911 Telephone Fund | $644,000 |
| Crime Victims Assistance Fines / D.A. | $15,110 |
| Drug Fines / Drug Education & Treatment | $19,500 |
| Jail Fund / Fines / Inmate Welfare | $29,000 |
| Juvenile Fund / Fines | $1,800 |
| Opioid Settlement Funds | $72,000 |
| Multiple Grant Fund / Family Connections | $144,250 |
| Hotel / Motel Excise Tax | $6,208,000 |
| S.P.L.O.S.T. 2023 | $12,619,889 |
| Grand total, all revenue funds | $52,789,164 |
Reconciliation note: SPLOST revenue is shown as a single $12,619,889 line, while SPLOST spending is split into two lines — S.P.L.O.S.T. Roads ($7,899,770) and SPLOST Distribution & Other Expenditures ($4,720,119). Those two sum to $12,619,889 exactly, so the split reconciles with the single revenue line. Every other revenue line equals its matching expenditure line.

What the sheet does not show
The following are not in the approved budget summary sheets, so they are not reported on this page and have not been estimated or filled in from any other source:
- General Fund revenue by source (property tax, sales tax, fees, grants, or any other category) — only the $32,948,520 fund total is stated.
- A millage rate or tax digest figure.
- Prior-year actuals, amended budgets, or year-over-year comparisons.
- Fund balances, reserves, or debt figures.
- Staffing, salary, capital-project, or program-level detail.
- Any budget narrative beyond the hearing and approval dates stated on the sheet.
If a full FY2026 budget book is published later, this page should be rebuilt from it rather than extended from these summary sheets.
