Overview
Westchester County's 2026 Adopted Operating Budget totals $2,538,195,099 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2026. The two largest components are Home and Community Services ($758,965,547, 29.90%) and Miscellaneous and Fixed ($756,254,557, 29.79%), together nearly 60% of the budget. Public Safety, Correction & Courts ($341,559,061) and Roads, Transportation and Park Facilities ($336,867,444) follow. The adoption act appropriates the budget's "Allowed 2026" amounts by reference; the $2,538,195,099 total itself comes from the budget book, p. 31.

Sum check: the seven components add to $2,538,195,100, which is $1 above the printed total; the book's p. 31 note states that due to rounding, individual items do not necessarily add up to the total, so the printed total is the figure used on this page. The act's Section 14 levy figures (Metropolitan Transportation Authority $34,314,252; County Operating Purposes $527,978,407; printed Total County $562,301,659) are a separate tax-levy table with its own $9,000 discrepancy and are not part of this operating total.

- Sum checks: the seven components sum to $2,538,195,100 against a printed total of $2,538,195,099 ($1 rounding, per the book's own note); printed shares sum to 99.99%.
- What is not claimed: no adoption resolution (RES) number is shown because none exists for this adoption — the instrument is ACT-2025-281; the minutes' vote is counted from names (13 aye, 4 nay), not a printed tally; the act does not print the $2,538,195,099 total (it appropriates by reference), so the total is cited to the book; the Section 14 levy-table $9,000 discrepancy is disclosed and not used; the county budget page redirected to the county homepage and was not relied on.
- 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.
