Bradford County, Florida

Unofficial demonstration dashboard for Bradford County, Florida, built from the county’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

Basis — read this first: every figure on this page comes from the financial statements of Bradford County, Florida, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (Florida Auditor General e-file), specifically the General Fund Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance — Budget and Actual. Headline: General Fund actual revenues $36,423,230 against a final budget of $34,072,295, and actual expenditures $36,594,216 against a final budget of $49,895,923, leaving an ending General Fund balance of $23,226,591. Flags, not smoothed over: the General Fund budget-and-actual schedule is marked (UNAUDITED), and the audit gives a qualified opinion on governmental activities because the county has not implemented GASB Statement No. 75 (postemployment benefits other than pensions); the General Fund itself carries an unmodified opinion. Also as printed: general government actual spending of $7,272,178 came in far below its $19,029,668 final budget, while public safety actual spending of $20,460,513 exceeded its $18,030,645 final budget.

Sources & notes

  • Only source used: Bradford County, Florida, Financial Statements, fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. 2025 Bradford County audit (Auditor General e-file). Jurisdiction verified in the document itself: Bradford County, Florida (not the Bradford County, Pennsylvania budget sometimes found in the same searches, which was rejected).
  • Sum checks: actual revenues exact ($17,942,513 + $222,712 + $10,415,636 + $6,434,990 + $63,588 + $1,343,791 = $36,423,230); actual expenditures exact ($7,272,178 + $20,460,513 + $480,746 + $710,094 + $278,114 + $925,866 + $740,930 + $571,741 + $5,154,034 = $36,594,216); $36,423,230 − $36,594,216 = ($170,986); ($170,986) + ($339,147) = ($510,133); $23,736,724 − $510,133 = $23,226,591.
  • What is not claimed: this is an audited actuals page built on the (UNAUDITED) budget-and-actual schedule; no FY2025-26 adopted total is shown. A separately reported FY2025-26 final operating budget of $89,541,034 at 10 mills was not used as this page’s basis.
  • 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.
