Sources & notes
- Only source used: Bay County, Fiscal Year 2026 budget book, September 16, 2025 (Budget Office). FY2026 Final Budget Commissioners’ Book (DocumentCenter).
- Sum checks: revenue sources exact ($184,216,751 + $62,145,570 + $3,006,700 + $31,620,299 + $99,216,287 + $109,555,789 + $13,489,069 + $4,599,942 + $67,514,162 + $159,101,040 = $734,465,609); $734,465,609 − $34,578,970 = $699,886,639.
- What is not claimed: the $734,465,609 figure is the book’s recommended/tentative total, not a final-adoption vote total confirmed by this document (see basis notice). No millage rate is shown because the retrieved extract does not state one.
- Jurisdiction palette: No verified Florida jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
