Overview
Colusa County's adopted budget schedules for FY 2025-26 show total financing sources of $164,594,474 for all funds, exactly matched by financing uses of $160,530,831 plus increases to obligated fund balances of $4,063,643. Governmental funds account for $156,119,546 of those sources and $153,249,936 of uses (plus $2,869,610 in increases to obligated balances). The county's operating weight sits outside the General Fund: health, social services, public works, and behavioral health special revenue funds dominate the totals, and the General Fund itself is $41,611,180 — about one quarter of the all-funds total.

General Fund — FY 2025-26 adopted
The General Fund's total financing sources of $41,611,180 are funded by additional financing sources of $34,681,699 plus decreases to obligated fund balances of $6,929,481 — that is, the county drew down $6,929,481 of prior-year obligated balances to balance the General Fund. Financing uses are $41,611,180, matching the total exactly, so no increase to obligated balances is shown for the General Fund. That drawdown is the single largest structural fact in the General Fund schedule: 16.7% of the General Fund's financing comes from prior balances, not from current-year revenue.
