- Only source used: Gove County financial statement and supplementary information with independent auditors' reports, year ended December 31, 2021 (state portal; Mapes & Miller LLP, October 3, 2022). Read the statement (PDF).
- Sum checks: the reporting-entity walk ($6,366,325 + $9,960,315 − $9,734,678) equals $6,591,962 and ($6,591,962 + $353,870) equals $6,945,832; the cash composition totals $15,484,886 and ($15,484,886 − $8,539,054) equals $6,945,832; the General Fund walk equals $1,815,608 and $1,921,325 with encumbrances. All verified by addition.
- Dated basis disclosed: all figures are FY2021 actuals — five years old at build time. No newer Gove County audit was located; a state-portal search for a later audit is the re-check route.
- RNR filing not used: the county's 2026 revenue-neutral-rate filing (72.282 mills) is a tax-rate filing, not a budget or audit, and contributes no figure to this page.
- County palette: no verified Gove County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
