FY2026 and FY2027: the latest numbers
FY2026 ran from July 2025 through June 2026. Its audited annual report is not posted yet; last year's was posted in late December, so expect it around the end of 2026. Until then, the newest county figures are the Monthly Financial Report through May 28, 2026 (eleven of twelve months), the FY2027 budget book, and payment registers through October 15, 2026. These numbers are unaudited.
Largest budget increases made during FY2026
Dollars added to each department's budget after the county adopted it, as of May 28, 2026. Hover a bar for the adopted and revised amounts. Council approved these changes 5–0 on June 1, 2026 (Ordinance 682). The opioid settlement line is account 01930, which the monthly report calls the "Contingent Fund." See Questions for the county.

Three ways to count county spending
Different county reports measure different things, so the totals on this site don't all match. Here is how they fit together, using FY2025, the last year with an audited report.
Who gets paid
Each year's payments, grouped by who received them. Vendors and contractors are what the county buys. A large share goes to other governments: tax collections passed to cities, fees sent to the state, and similar pass-throughs. Employee paychecks are not in these registers; employee benefits are.
Payments by type of payee, each fiscal year
Fiscal years run July–June; FY2026 ended June 30, 2026, and FY2027 is left out until it is complete. FY2021 is low because several months of registers are missing from the county's site (see Questions for the county). Not adjusted for inflation.
General Fund spending by department
From the actual-spending tables in each year's budget book. The General Fund pays for most day-to-day county services; roads money, fire districts and grants run through other funds.
FY2025 actual spending, largest 18 departments
Bars show FY2025. The dark tick shows FY2015, ten years earlier. Not adjusted for inflation: prices rose about 34% over those ten years, so a department that grew less than that shrank in real terms.
Search every vendor
Every business and agency paid at least $25,000 since 2011. Payees who are private individuals (refunds, tax-sale bidders, contractors paid under a person's own name) are left out of this list and the download by name, but their payments are counted in the chart above.
About this data
The county posts a register of checks and electronic payments roughly every week or two. We downloaded all 808 registers posted from 2011 to October 2026 and read every line. 799 of them add up to the penny against the register's own printed total. Eight were scanned images and were read by text recognition: three match their printed totals exactly, two come up a few lines short, and three have no readable total.
Comparing check numbers across registers shows payments that appear in no posted register. The longest stretches are all in 2020–21: printed checks 367,503–367,617, 368,057–368,131, 368,212–368,464, 368,752–368,943, 369,540–369,967 and 370,046–370,197, and electronic payments 23,930–23,967, 24,138–24,169, 24,207–24,320, 24,451–24,537, 24,804–25,013 and 25,052–25,127. See Questions for the county.
Names in the registers are cut off at 25 characters, as the county prints them. Payments to the same vendor are combined using the county's vendor number. Voided checks are excluded, and checks the county posted twice are counted once. Department figures come from the "actual" columns of the FY2011–FY2027 budget books; FY2012 is left out because it does not print consistently. Every row in the download links to the county register it came from. The download covers vendors paid $25,000 or more since 2011, about 98% of vendor dollars.
