Cleburne County, Arkansas Β· Cleburne County 2026 adopted budget

Cleburne County β€” the money trail

This is Cleburne County's 2026 budget as passed by the quorum court in Appropriation Ordinance 2025-23 on November 20, 2025, and filed with the state. It is a scanned copy, and we use its only amount column, 'Total 2026 Budget'. County General lists $330,000 as a transfer out to the Capital Projects Fund, so those dollars may be counted 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.
