BudgetPresupuestoGeneral fund, FY2025, auditedFondo general, año fiscal 2025, auditado

Every dollar Oakland County’s general fund took in during the fiscal year that ended September 30, 2025, and what it paid for. The general fund pays for the county’s day-to-day work; the county parks, airports, water and sewer systems, Children’s Village, indigent defense, pandemic-relief money and the delinquent-tax fund run on their own funds and are not in this picture. The Road Commission is a separate body with its own budget. “Overhead billed to other funds” is what the county’s other funds pay the general fund for shared administration.Cada dólar que recibió el fondo general de el condado de Oakland en el año fiscal que terminó el 30 de septiembre de 2025, y en qué se gastó. El fondo general paga el trabajo diario del condado; los parques del condado, los aeropuertos, los sistemas de agua y alcantarillado, Children’s Village, la defensa pública, el dinero de ayuda por la pandemia y el fondo de impuestos morosos tienen fondos propios y no están aquí. La Comisión de Caminos es una entidad aparte con su propio presupuesto. Los gastos generales cobrados a otros fondos son lo que los demás fondos del condado pagan al fondo general por la administración compartida.
