BudgetPresupuestoGeneral fund, 2025, auditedFondo general, 2025, auditado

Every dollar Lenawee County’s general fund took in during 2025, and what it paid for. The general fund pays for the county’s day-to-day work; the county health department, central dispatch (911), the Department on Aging, the medical care facility, the airport and the delinquent-tax fund run on their own funds and are not in this picture. The Road Commission and the Drain Commission are separate bodies with their own budgets.Cada dólar que recibió el fondo general de el condado de Lenawee en 2025, y en qué se gastó. El fondo general paga el trabajo diario del condado; el departamento de salud del condado, el despacho central (911), el Departamento para Personas Mayores, el centro de atención médica, el aeropuerto y el fondo de impuestos morosos tienen fondos propios y no están aquí. La Comisión de Caminos y la Comisión de Drenajes son entidades aparte con presupuesto propio.
