Lonoke County, Arkansas · Lonoke County 2026 adopted budget

Lonoke County — the money trail

$54,583,074.02
This is Lonoke County's 2026 operating budget, dated November 20, 2025, which the quorum court adopted by ordinance and filed with the state. Amounts come from each office's 2026 appropriation page. The Jail Maintenance fund ($150,000) and Jail Employment fund ($237,000) send money to the Law Enforcement fund, so those dollars are counted in both places. 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.
