Sources & notes
- Only source used: Village of Fort Edward, ADOPTED Village Budget 2025-26. ADOPTED Village Budget 2025-26.
- Sum checks: revenue categories exact ($447,361); appropriation functions exact ($1,949,345.95); balancing identity exact ($1,949,345.95 − $447,361.00 − $960.65 = $1,501,024.30).
- What is not claimed: no water, sewer, or other fund total is shown (the file contains the General Fund only); no reason is given for the Village Justice appropriation printing at $0.00; a prior-year inconsistency in the cover summary (2024-25 appropriations print as $2,059,713.41 against a detail total of $2,059,966.08, a $252.67 gap) does not affect the 2025-26 figures and is noted here only.
- Jurisdiction palette: No verified New York jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
