Perry County, Arkansas · Perry County 2026 adopted budget

Perry County — the money trail

$9,029,071
This is Perry County's 2026 budget, adopted by Appropriation Ordinance #2025-20 on Dec. 8, 2025 and filed with the state. Amounts are the ordinance's maximum appropriations, split into categories using the county's budget detail report. A few funds only budget transfers (for example $200,000 from the LATC Fund), so some dollars may be counted 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.
