Boone County, Arkansas · Boone County 2026 adopted budget

Boone County — the money trail

$23,015,268.2
This is Boone County's 2026 final budget, adopted by Appropriation Ordinance 2025-39 on December 9, 2025. We use the single 'Budget 2026' column of the detailed budget pages. The General Fund total comes from the ordinance and includes $543,289.34 that County General sends to the 911, District Court Probation and Public Defender funds, so those dollars are counted twice: once in County General and again where they are spent. 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.
