Conway County, Arkansas Β· Conway County 2026 budget workbook (projected)

Conway County β€” the money trail

This is Conway County's 2026 budget workbook as filed with the state. We use the "Projected 2026" column, not the 2025 column next to it. Some funds move money to other funds or to a health savings reserve (transfer lines); money moved between county funds shows up in both funds. The workbook isn’t the adopted ordinance: one fund’s (3045) lines are missing from the print, and the other funds come to $7,249.99 less than its printed β€œTotal Budgeted Funds.” The adopted ordinance is a records request away. 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.

Now you've seen it β€” say what matters. You don't write the budget; the people you elected do. But this is the record they answer to. Tell them what to lean into, or what to take a fresh look at, and why. Set the priorities.
