Sources & notes
- Sources used: Orange County Budget page (255 Main Street, Goshen, NY) — Orange County Budget page; FY2026 Legislative Adopted Budget, ClearGov budget book ("Adopted Version - 12/04/2025") — ClearGov budget book, including County Total, General Fund, and Legislative Certification.
- Sum checks: all six breakdown tables sum exactly to their printed totals (county revenues, county expenditures by type, county expenditures by function, General Fund revenues, General Fund expenditures by function, General Fund expenditures by type).
- What is not claimed: no adoption resolution number is shown because none appears on the ClearGov pages examined; the certification's "year 2025" wording is treated as a source error against the FY2026 book title, county link, and table headings, and is disclosed rather than corrected; no official other than the Clerk is named because the cited pages name no other.
- 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.
