Overview
Baldwin County, Alabama's fiscal year 2026 budget is $259,546,189, as stated in the county's official FY2026 Narrative Budget book. The book builds that total from two components only: $57,804,473 in operational transfers and $201,741,716 in projected new revenues. Those two components re-add exactly to the total (see the sum check in Sources & notes). This page shows no department or fund breakdown, because no breakdown figure was verified for this build — only the total and its two book components are used, and nothing else is presented as a budget figure.

FY2026 budget
The book's total is the sum of its two stated components. “Projected new revenues” is the book's own wording — it is a projection in the budget book, not a reported actual collection.
| Component | FY2026 budget | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| Operational transfers | $57,804,473 | 22.27% |
| Projected new revenues | $201,741,716 | 77.73% |
| Total FY2026 budget | $259,546,189 | 100.00% |
Scope note: this $259,546,189 total is the FY2026 budget total as stated in the Narrative Budget book and confirmed in the signed adoption resolution. It is not a General Fund total, an all-funds audited total, or an actual-spending total, and this page does not label it as any of those.

Context & gaps
- No department or fund breakdown: none is shown, because no breakdown figure was verified for this build. Do not infer one from the total.
- No livability, housing, schools, or neighbor-comparison sections: no verified datasets for those sections were in the build sources for this unit, so none are shown and none are estimated.
- No meetings section: no meeting section is included — no official meeting pattern was verified for this build beyond the September 16, 2025 adoption meeting identified in Sources. Future or recurring meetings are not listed.
- No officials section: no official roster was verified in the build sources, so no officials section is shown. Commissioners are named on this page only where the adoption vote itself names them.
- No widgets: no tax-dollar calculator, sales-tax tracker, or other widget is included, because no verified inputs for one were in the build sources. No table-search widget is built for the single small table above.
- No hero photo: no candidate photo met the exact-place plus photographer-and-license verification standard on its source page, so none was substituted.
Sources & notes
- Source used: Baldwin County Commission FY2026 Narrative Budget (official county budget book) Read the source document.
- Adoption confirmed: Resolution #2025-171, Legistar File #25-1099, agenda item CE10, Consent section, final action September 16, 2025 — meeting: Baldwin County Commission Regular, Tuesday September 16, 2025, 10:00 AM, Fairhope Satellite Courthouse chambers. Meeting record Legistar meeting; minutes approved minutes (22 pages); legislation file File #25-1099; signed resolution signed resolution (6 pages).
- Vote nuance (repeated, do not drop): there is NO separate individual vote for CE10 (Mover/Seconder/Result blank, Votes 0:0). The passage vote is the Consent Agenda vote: motion by Commissioner James E. Ball, seconded by Commissioner Billie Jo Underwood, Aye 4 (Ball, McKenzie, Underwood, Gruber), Nay 0, Absent 0, Abstain 0.
- Sum check: $57,804,473 + $201,741,716 = $259,546,189 — exact, no rounding gap. The signed resolution's page-5 total matches the book total exactly.
- Identity: this is the Baldwin County Commission, Alabama — a county government. Baldwin County, Georgia is a separate government; no Georgia material was used. The book itself contains no adoption resolution or date — adoption is confirmed only via the Legistar minutes and signed resolution above, which is why both are cited here.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified palette was established for this jurisdiction from its official site, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
- Photo: no hero photo is shown — no candidate photo met the photographer-and-license verification standard on its source page, so none was substituted.
