Randolph County, Arkansas · Randolph County 2026 adopted budget

Randolph County — the money trail

$12,956,142.09
This is the county's 2026 budget as filed with the state: Ordinance No. 2025-23 and the January 2026 budget detail report, using its "Original Budget" column (it matches the ordinance). The county moves money between its own funds (for example $200,100.00 out of the County General Fund and $196,000.00 out of Solid Waste), so those dollars appear in two funds. 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.
