Pike County, Arkansas · Pike County 2026 adopted budget

Pike County — the money trail

$10,598,539.73
This is Pike County's 2026 budget summary report, adopted by Ordinance 2025-16 and filed with the state. We use the 'Original Budget' column for each department. Some funds move money to other county funds (the 'Transfers Out' lines, $345,156.62 in all), so those dollars appear in both funds. 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 — 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.
