Sources & notes
- Sources used: Orange County, Florida, FY2025-26 budget summary (official budget book, orangecountyfl.net) for all tabulated figures; the county's official newsroom release (August 2025) for the two public hearings (September 4 and September 18, 2025) and county context (13 municipalities, 7-member board).
- Sum checks: fund-group totals exact ($1,731,481,128 + $202,102,170 + $97,981,061 + $519,135,541 + $336,091,840 + $898,072,100 + $819,021,030 + $1,502,741,922 + $1,798,783,031 + $412,762,347 = $8,318,172,170); General Fund revenues exact at $1,040,255,859; General Fund expenditures exact at $1,535,039,883, plus transfers $71,738,172 and reserves $124,703,073 = $1,731,481,128.
- Flags: (1) the tabulated book is the proposed-budget book; its total equals the adopted total of $8,318,172,170, and adoption September 18, 2025, 6–1, at aggregate millage 6.9547 is per the inventory record with secondary corroboration — re-check route: the county's adopted budget book or the September 18, 2025 hearing minutes for a separately confirmed adopted total. (2) The newsroom release's public-safety allocations (Fire Rescue $575M, Corrections $220M, Sheriff $446M) differ from the proposed book's department lines (Fire Rescue $435M, Corrections $218M, Sheriff $423M); the summary tables are used and the difference is disclosed, not averaged. (3) The North Carolina and Virginia Orange County adoptions found in the same searches were rejected as wrong-state.
