Sources & notes
- Only source used: Manatee County, Florida, Resolution B-26-005, adopting the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, adopted in open session with a quorum present and voting September 22, 2025.
- What is not claimed: no fund-by-fund breakdown is shown, because the resolution itself carries no fund split — only the gross total, the net-expenditure total, the two MSTU budgets, and the Exhibit 1 carryforward list. Re-check route: the FY2026 Adopted Budget Book on mymanatee.org for a future fund-split revision.
- Gross vs. net: the $3,577,708,037 gross total and the $1,368,296,426 net-expenditure figure are stated separately in the resolution and are not added together on this page.
- 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.
