Monroe County, New York

Unofficial demonstration dashboard for Monroe County, New York, built from the county's 2026 Adopted Budget, fiscal year 2026.

Basis — read this first: every figure on this page comes from the county's 2026 Adopted Budget book. Adoption: the County Legislature approved the 2026 budget on December 9, 2025, by a vote of 27–2. Note on the source text: the County Executive's message inside the book (dated November 7, 2025) describes the proposal; the book's own budget summary carries the same $1,567,679,468 total as the adopted budget, and that adopted-book figure is what this page uses.

Overview

Sources & notes

  • Only source used: Monroe County, 2026 Adopted Budget. 2026 Adopted Budget (PDF).
  • Sum checks: operating-budget split exact ($1,240,305,790 + $113,878,390 + $84,874,596 + $128,620,692 = $1,567,679,468); revenues plus levy exact ($1,110,507,699 + $457,171,769 = $1,567,679,468).
  • What is not claimed: no fund-balance or reserves figure is shown because the cited summary tables do not isolate one; the 27–2 adoption vote is from the county's December 9, 2025 adoption release as recorded in the build queue.
  • Jurisdiction palette: no verified Monroe County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
