County budget: what was actually spent

Fiscal year 2025-26 adopted budget by function

What the Board of Supervisors adopted to spend, from Schedule 8 of the county’s Adopted County Budget Schedules. It covers governmental funds only, so it leaves out enterprise funds such as the hospital enterprise fund, and its totals are not comparable one-to-one with the filed actuals below. Each figure here adds up to the schedule’s own printed totals, within rounding, or the year is not shown.

Each total is the sum of that year’s rows, so it can differ from the schedule’s printed grand total by a few dollars of rounding. Missing years are not zero. Fiscal year 2024-25’s schedules PDF keeps its dollar columns apart from their row labels in its text, so it is not parsed yet, and years before 2020-21 have not been read.

Totals by fiscal year
