Cleveland County, Arkansas · Cleveland County 2026 adopted budget

Cleveland County — the money trail

$6,925,466
This is Cleveland County's 2026 budget ordinance (No. 2025-12), passed December 1, 2025 and filed with the state. We use the amounts the ordinance sets for each office and fund. The ordinance also moves $6,000 from County General to fund 3026 and $45,137 from the Ambulance Service fund to County General; those transfers are printed outside the totals shown here. 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.
