About these figures

Chatham County’s fiscal year ends June 30. The fund-balance, debt, and population figures are audited FY2025 actuals from the county’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025; the ACFR reports the General Fund’s total fund balance at 39.6% of FY2025 General Fund expenditures, against a county policy floor of 30%.

The budget table is from the FY2023 Adopted Budget book, the newest budget the county has published as a PDF book: the county now publishes its current adopted budgets (through FY2026–2027) as ClearGov digital budget books, linked from its official Adopted Budgets page, rather than as downloadable PDF books, so the FY2023 book is the newest line-item budget document available for citation here.
