Drew County — the money trail

$14,912,136.97
This is Drew County's 2026 budget as filed with the state: Appropriation Ordinance 2025-20 and the department budget pages. We used the 2026 appropriation amounts. The county's emergency management office (OEM) budget includes a $36,025.43 'Transfer Out' line, so those dollars may also be counted in the fund that receives them. 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.
