2025 Annual Budget

Clark County’s budget process follows state requirements specified by RCW 36.40.   The council is the county’s legislative authority and implements 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 fulfills their policy direction and is within the resources available to the county. 

The budget presentation and videos of the Dec. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th hearings are available on the county’s website at https://clark.wa.gov/councilors/clark-county-council-meetings.   

Clark County adopted the 2025 Annual Budget on December 4, 2024. The county’s budget has an ongoing structural deficit, a systemic problem that results from expenses growing faster than revenues. The approved budget addresses urgent and immediate needs; however, it does not encompass many areas where additional funding will be required in future years. The recommended property tax levy options, including 1% increases for the General Fund, Road Fund, Conservation Futures Fund (with banked capacity), and the Greater Clark Parks District Fund (with banked capacity), were not approved. The council voted to bank the capacity for each of the levies for potential future use.
