- Sources used: Livingston County, 2026 Adopted Budget (posted adopted-budget page). 2026 Adopted Budget; adoption confirmation: county news release, November 28, 2025. Livingston County Adopts 2026 Budget.
- Sum checks: fund appropriations exact ($215,146,730); revenues + fund balance + levy exact ($173,943,668 + $5,794,305 + $35,408,757 = $215,146,730); levy increase 4.5891% matches the book’s stated percentage.
- What is not claimed: no department-level breakdown beyond the fund summary is shown; the book’s transmittal letter is dated as a tentative submission (see basis notice) — the posted adopted book plus the unanimous-adoption release are the basis.
- 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.
