- What is not claimed: these are audited actuals, not an adopted budget; the FY2026-27 $16,088,454 figure is a workshop proposal and was not used, and the FY2025-26 Budget and TRIM Schedule is a schedule, not an adoption document.
- 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.
