Overview
Otsego County, New York, adopted its 2026 budget on December 3, 2025, as amended. Total appropriations are $167,780,354. The budget's printed total row is the total used here — it is not a sum of fund rows computed for this page. Total revenues are $153,255,794 and the total tax levy is $14,524,560. The levy, set against a true value of $7,208,482,832, gives a rate of 2.014926072 per $1,000 of true value. The tentative budget total on file was $167,672,196, so the adopted total exceeds it by $108,158 — the net effect of the December 3 amendments. This is Otsego County, New York — Otsego County, Michigan, the City of Otsego, Minnesota, and the Village of Cooperstown are different governments, and none of their material is used here.

Sources & notes
- Sources used: ClearGov document 22061, “Summary of Budget — All Funds” page — All Funds page (TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS $167,780,354, printed total row; fund rows, subtotal, interfund transfers, TOTAL REVENUES $153,255,794, TOTAL TAX LEVY $14,524,560); Board of Representatives minutes, December 3, 2025, pp. 47–48 — Resolution No. 380-20251203 (adopting the 2026 budget, as amended; Total 100, Ayes 93, Noes 7; sponsors Kennedy, McCarty, Wilber, Martini, Marietta, Catan) and Resolution No. 381-20251203 (appropriations per the budget's “adopted” column, effective January 1, 2026; Ayes 100, Noes 0); Board minutes, December 15, 2025, p. 4 (true value $7,208,482,832; Budget Levy $14,524,560.00; rate 2.014926072 per $1,000 of true value). Board documents index — Otsego County Board of Representatives documents.
- Amendment, disclosed: Kennedy's amendment (December 3 minutes, p. 47, carried unanimously) changed 12 tentative-budget lines, so the tentative total cannot be assumed adopted unchanged. The tentative total on file is $167,672,196; the adopted total $167,780,354 exceeds it by exactly $108,158. The tentative figure is never presented as adopted on this page.
- What neither resolution states: neither Resolution No. 380-20251203 nor No. 381-20251203 states a dollar total — no dollar total is attributed to either resolution. December 15, 2025 holds no budget adoption; its minutes are cited only for levy and tax-rate figures.
- Sum checks (machine-verified): $153,585,737 + $14,194,617 = $167,780,354; General $124,435,751 + County Road $22,120,677 + Machinery $4,602,639 + Capital Projects $0 + Special Grant $0 + Community Development $435,653 + Workers' Compensation $1,991,017 = $153,585,737; $167,780,354 − $167,672,196 = $108,158; $153,255,794 + $14,524,560 = $167,780,354.
- What is not claimed: no audit figure was retrieved, so none is shown. Livability, housing, schools, and neighbor comparison come in New York's standard pass (recovery pattern, not a defect). Meetings: section skipped. No verified official meeting pattern appears in the cited documents — a single adoption meeting is not a pattern — so there is no meetings section on this page. No hero photo: no verified Otsego County, New York photo was on file for this build, so the page is photo-less rather than carrying a stock or wrong-place image. No widgets beyond table search + CSV: no calculator or tracker widget is built here — no verified widget inputs for those were on file for this unit. No jurisdiction palette: no verified Otsego County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme; no palette was invented or sampled for this build.
- Jurisdiction identity: Otsego County, New York — not Otsego County, Michigan, not the City of Otsego, Minnesota, and not the Village of Cooperstown, a separate government inside Otsego County, New York. No material from any of those governments is used on this page.
