Fulton County adopts 2026 budget with no tax increase
Summary
Fulton County commissioners unanimously adopted the county's 2026 budget and approved the Tax Levy and Appropriation Resolution with no increase in taxes, saying the final budget reflected no changes since public advertisement.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted the county's 2026 budget on Dec. 30, 2025 and approved the Tax Levy and Appropriation Resolution with no change to the county tax rate.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve Resolution 8 of 2025, the Tax Levy and Appropriation Resolution, which the board approved with no tax increase for fiscal year 2026. CFO Mike Lamb and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed presented the proposed budget and told commissioners there were no changes since the version that was publicly advertised. The commission then voted to adopt the proposed 2026 budget as presented.
The action finalizes the county's spending plan for the coming year; the transcript did not specify line-item amounts beyond the general fund and debt service totals recorded for the accounts payable action. The board took the vote at its regular meeting in the commissioners' office in McConnellsburg.
The commissioners also approved routine financial items earlier in the meeting, including the Dec. 23 meeting minutes and Accounts Payable dated Dec. 30, 2025, which totaled $112,913.87 (General Fund $98,764.92; Debt Service $14,148.95). No member voted against the budget or the tax resolution.
The board plans to address organizational appointments at its Jan. 6, 2026 reorganizational meeting; the budget adoption completes county budget-setting for the fiscal year.
