Oklahoma County Excise Board receives revised $163.25 million preliminary revenue projection for FY2026–27
Summary
County finance staff told the Excise Board the countyexpects $163,252,323 in available general-fund resources for FY202627; the board voted to receive the revised statement, which included an identified $14 million carryover and higher interest income estimates.
The Oklahoma County Excise Board on April 21 received a revised preliminary statement of general-fund revenues for fiscal year 2026–27 that county finance staff said totals $163,252,323.
County finance staff told the board the figure reflects updated interest income and the recovery of a previously unrecognized cash carryover. "We ... confirm the 163,252,323 is the correct and accurate statement of revenues that we would like to present for the '26–'27 budget season," the presenter said during the meeting.
Why it matters: The statement sets the starting revenue projection the Board of Equalization and the Budget Evaluation Team (BET) will use as the budget season proceeds. Members noted the change is material to upcoming departmental guidance and to how the BET will finish balancing requests.
Key details: finance staff explained the projection incorporated a roughly $14 million adjustment described in the record as lapses or cash carryover that had been omitted from earlier budget supplements. The presenter also noted that about 84% of the reported revenue base is property tax and that interest income increased, affecting the relative share of revenue sources.
Board action and procedure: After the presentation the board member moved to receive the item "as presented and explained." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The three members on the record were Elellanar Thompson, Teresa Sers and Brett Town.
What comes next: County staff said the Budget Evaluation Team and elected officials had been notified of the corrected revenue statement and that BET will continue budget deliberations using the revised figures. The board's vote to receive the preliminary statement does not itself appropriate funds; appropriation and spending decisions will follow BET and later board actions.
