Izard County, Arkansas · Izard County 2026 budget book (requested amounts)

Izard County — the money trail

$9,170,289
This is Izard County's 2026 budget book, as sent to the state. Amounts are the 2026 column on each office's budget page. On a few pages the line items do not add up to the printed total; we show the printed total and say so. The book has no appropriation ordinance, and its summaries label the 2026 column “Requested,” so the quorum court’s final amounts may differ. 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.
Cross-foots ✓ 53/53
Now you've seen it — say what matters. You don't write the budget; the people you elected do. But this is the record they answer to. Tell them what to lean into, or what to take a fresh look at, and why. Set the priorities.
