Marion County, Arkansas · Marion County 2026 adopted budget

Marion County — the money trail

$16,755,058.72
This is Marion County's 2026 budget as adopted by the quorum court and filed with the state. Amounts come from the '2026 Department Final Budget Summary' pages. The County General Fund moves $3,009,097.25 to other county funds (the 'Transfers Out' column), so those dollars are counted again in the funds that receive them. 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.
