CCAO / CAAO County General Fund Balance Survey, CY 2025

As we begin preparing for the upcoming state budget cycle, the County Commissioners Association and the County Auditors Association are working to accurately identify each county's general fund carryover, revenues, expenditures and reserve balance accounts.

Please respond to the survey with fiscal data from CY 2025. The questions only request the topline figures.

If you would like to provide additional details, you can download an Excel template here and submit it through the file upload option presented at the end of the survey. You can also submit other supporting information as well.

We encourage boards of commissioners staff to work with the county auditor's office to ensure that information provided is as accurate as possible. This survey data will be critical in communicating county fiscal conditions to lawmakers and advancing county priorities.
