Financial statements (from fiscal year 2024) resulted in $2,941,759 under budget for general fund expenditures with a total account balance of $43,610,978 in unassigned general fund finances (i.e. savings).
The county maintains a healthy debt to savings ratio. The strong reserves allow the county the flexibility to utilize the general fund balance for unexpected emergencies, major capital projects or to maintain services during times of unlikely economic downturn.
Through sound financial management practices, the county is set to make stable financial decisions while maintaining low tax rates for residents seeking this balance with high quality of life programs and services from their local government.
The board of supervisors plans to host another town hall after the holiday season, so stay tuned to learn more about how to engage with your locally elected officials.
