Phillips County, Arkansas · Phillips County 2026 adopted budget

Phillips County — the money trail

$6,550,316
This is Phillips County's 2026 appropriation ordinance, as sent to the Association of Arkansas Counties and filed with the state. We use the amounts the ordinance appropriates for each office and fund (each fund may spend up to 90% of its projected revenue). No transfers between funds are listed. 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.
