Arkansas County, Arkansas · Arkansas County 2026 adopted budget

Arkansas County — the money trail

$14,706,845
This is Arkansas County's 2026 budget as filed with the state: one page (or two) per office, each with a single 2026 budget amount per line. We use each office's printed category totals and grand total. The document prints no fund totals and no all-funds total, so those are sums of the office pages. Click any number to see exactly where it comes from. Where the trail goes dark, it becomes a numbered issue in the docket. New here? Read our story or take the plain-words tour.
Cross-foots ✓ 50/50
Now you've seen it — say what matters. You don't write the budget; the people you elected do. But this is the record they answer to. Tell them what to lean into, or what to take a fresh look at, and why. Set the priorities.
