For a fifth year in a row, cuts in services will be needed to produce a balanced budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year. New sources of revenue are also being studied.

UPDATE: Budget committees approve Washington County and special district budgets. The balanced county proposed budget closes a $10 million gap in the general fund, the third such reduced budget in as many years.

New budget for this next fiscal year avoids layoffs and reduces reliance on one-time revenue sources.

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada has awarded Washington County with their Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 37th year in a row.
