About these figures

The budget figures are FY2026 ADOPTED amounts from the Hall County Budget Guide FY 2026, adopted June 26, 2025 by the Board of Commissioners for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025: operating budget $319,069,776 + capital budget $79,510,452 = $398,580,228.

The fund-balance, long-term-liability and population figures are FY2025 AUDITED actuals from the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2025. Population is the latest year in the ACFR’s Demographic and Economic Statistics schedule (2024: 217,267; the schedule’s source note cites the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts 2023 estimate, and the ACFR notes that updated 2025 numbers were unable to be gathered).

The two fiscal years are presented separately and never blended. This is an unofficial demonstration dashboard from Peach State Pulse. It is not published by, or affiliated with, Hall County government.
