2026 Annual Budget

Clark County’s budget process follows state requirements specified by RCW 36.40.   The council serves as the county’s legislative authority, implementing policy by allocating funding to county departments and elected offices.  The county manager takes policy directions from the council and coordinates with the Budget Office, which is responsible for facilitating, preparing, and updating the county budget.  The county manager recommends a balanced budget to the council that fulfils their policy direction and is within the resources available to the county.
