Bradley County, Arkansas · Bradley County 2026 adopted budget

Bradley County — the money trail

$8,943,851.08
This is Bradley County's 2026 annual budget, adopted by Ordinance 2025-12 on December 15, 2025, and filed with the state as a scanned copy. We use its one amount column, labeled 'Amount Requested Next Year', which the ordinance adopts as the budget. Thirteen funds send their money to other county funds (mostly County General, plus Road and Solid Waste), so $867,194.47 is counted twice: once where it starts and again where it is spent. Click any number to see exactly where it comes from. Where the trail goes dark, it becomes a numbered issue in the docket. New here? Read our story or take the plain-words tour.
