Sharp County, Arkansas · Sharp County 2026 adopted budget
Sharp County — the money trail
This is Sharp County's 2026 budget, set by Appropriation Ordinance #2025-4 (Nov. 25, 2025) and filed with the state. Amounts are the ordinance's maximum appropriations, split into categories using the attached office budget pages. Some money moves between county funds (for example $500,000 from road savings to road checking if needed), so those dollars can appear in two funds. Click any number to see exactly where it comes from. Where the trail goes dark, it becomes a numbered issue in the
