County presents initial 2026 budget; final appropriation scheduled for Dec. 10
Summary
Clermont County management presented the initial 2026 budget emphasizing the General Fund; an updated presentation will come Dec. 1 and final adoption is scheduled for Dec. 10, 2025. Commissioners discussed property tax items, capital projects and the 50/50 Sheriff funding arrangement.
Emily Akers, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, presented the proposed initial 2026 budget with emphasis on General Fund items and summaries of capital needs. "An updated budget presentation will be delivered on December 1, 2025, and the final presentation—along with adoption of the Annual Appropriations—is scheduled for December 10, 2025," Akers said.
Commissioners discussed property-tax considerations and potential changes to the County Capital Improvement Fund. They also reviewed the county's 50/50 Sheriff Fund, which currently splits contracted Sheriff costs between the General Fund (50%) and townships, villages and schools (50%); Commissioner Painter said the arrangement could be revisited to consider full cost assumption by townships and villages. County staff cautioned that rising project costs could change capital project timing.
