Sources & notes
- Source used: COLUMBIA COUNTY 2026 ADOPTED BUDGET (101 pp) — DocumentCenter (adopted budget PDF). Chairman's letter dated December 10, 2025; figures from the Fund Summary, PDF p. 5.
- Adoption vote and resolution number not retrieved: the county's Minutes/Resolutions pages return an embedded-viewer 401 error, so no adoption vote and no resolution number are stated or inferred anywhere on this page. The basis is the adopted book itself — titled ADOPTED, with exact figures whose per-fund sums confirm both totals exactly — per the Madison precedent.
- Sum checks, verified: appropriations $156,973,989 + $4,787,432 + $17,167,143 + $3,821,644 + $149,600 + $337,764 + $2,865,885 = $186,103,457; levy $33,533,669 + $1,267,417 + $12,065,859 + $442,145 + $0 + $0 + $0 = $47,309,090; funding $132,794,367 + $47,309,090 + $6,000,000 = $186,103,457.
- No audit figure: no audit figure was retrieved for this unit, so none is shown.
- Standard-pass sections not yet built: livability, housing, schools, and neighbor comparison come in New York's standard pass from verified state datasets; none is shown yet. This is the recovery pattern, not a defect.
- Meetings: section skipped. The adopted budget book alone contains no verified official meeting pattern for this unit, so there is no meetings section on this page — none was built from third-party coverage, per the official-sources-only rule.
- No hero photo: no verified Columbia County photo was on file for this build, so the page is photo-less rather than carrying a substitute image.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Columbia County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color; no palette was invented or sampled for this build.
- Other widgets not built: beyond the table search and CSV download above, no calculator or tracker widget is built here — no verified widget inputs for those were on file for this unit.
- What is not claimed: no adoption vote or resolution number, no audit figure, and no figures from Columbia County, Washington, or Columbia County, Georgia are used. No fiscal-year calendar dates are stated, because none are stated in the source figures used.
