Montgomery County, Arkansas · Montgomery County 2026 adopted budget

Montgomery County — the money trail

$10,373,162.91
This is Montgomery County's 2026 budget as adopted by the quorum court on December 8, 2025, and filed with the state. Amounts come from the 2026 column of the budget summary and each office's line-item pages, plus a second ordinance that funds smaller special accounts. County General moves $53,900 to other county funds and E911 moves $80,000 to the Law Enforcement Sales Tax fund, so those dollars are counted in both places. 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.
