Miller County, Arkansas · Miller County 2026 adopted budget

Miller County — the money trail

$26,109,332.72
This is Miller County's 2026 budget as adopted by the quorum court on December 22, 2025, and filed with the state. Each office shows two printed totals: salaries and benefits, and operations (supplies, services and equipment). Some funds move money to other county funds, such as County General's $500,000 transfer out and the Crime Case Coordinator fund's $80,000, so those dollars also show up in the funds that receive 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.

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.
