# 2027 Grant County Budget Meetings, Monday 11/02/2026

Grant County, Washington Board of County Commissioners’ 2027 preliminary budget meeting on November 2, 2026, covered the countywide draft budget and the process for reviewing it. The preliminary budget lists $160 million in revenues and $169 million in expenses, including $61 million in General Fund revenue, $69 million in General Fund expenses, $13.6 million in capital expenses, and $14 million in internal transfers. Commissioners voted to adopt the preliminary 2027 budget; final adoption is targeted for December 15, following a December 7 public hearing. A third-party consultant has been engaged to assist with budget development, and officials described plans to improve financial forecasting and fund-balance analysis. Commissioners discussed uncertainty caused by gaps and inconsistencies in financial data, possible use of reserves, and whether to limit salary increases while the county’s financial position is clarified; no resolution on those options was reported.

Department reviews identified items for follow-up, including a $100,000 animal outreach contract that was not reflected in the relevant budget, estimates for MAC service fees, and missing or inconsistent 2027 figures in some budget schedules. District Court discussed replacing copiers and an estimated $8,000 charge for vehicle use through Public Works; the Auditor noted anticipated software licensing costs of about $22,320. The county also expects further work on capital-project placeholders and internal transfers before final adoption. These were review notes and prospective expenses, not reported contract awards or completed purchases.
