County government only — county seat Brunswick. The City of Brunswick is a separate government with its own dashboard and is not included in any figure on this page.
The $241,856,305 adopted total “also included … approximately $56 million in interfund transfers and $10 million in the Pension Fund which is a Fiduciary Fund, resulting in revenue and expenditure budgets appearing $66 million higher than they actually are due to governmental fund accounting requirements.” — Manager's Transmittal Letter, FY2026 Adopted Budget, p. 12. Do not read the total as $241.9M of new spending.
Audited figures on this page are from Glynn County's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 — the newest ACFR located. They are more than three years behind the FY2026 adopted budget shown above and must not be read as current balances. The FY2026 budget book itself confirms the audit lag: FY2025's fund balance was “still under audit” when the FY2026 budget was published (Sept. 30, 2025). No FY2023, FY2024, or FY2025 ACFR was located.
Seven fund types as stated in the transmittal letter. Rows sum exactly to the adopted total.

UGA TED 503: The FY2026 budget document was verified from a full-text read while its host (UGA TED) was returning 503 errors. During the 2026-10-23 research session, UGA TED returned its “Down for maintenance” HTTP 503 page to every direct curl download attempt (repeated attempts; background retry loop also 503). The full text of the PDF itself was read end-to-end via a document fetch of the exact URL cited (including summary tables pp. 50–53 and General Fund summary pp. 58–61). No figure comes from a search snippet or third-party summary. Treat this as the “extracted-under-503” access flag for the TED host.
ACFR link: The FY2022 ACFR was read in full via document fetch at the glynncounty.org URL cited. On 2026-10-23 a plain curl of that URL returned the county's new-site 404 page (county redesigned its website in 2025; older DocumentCenter links are reported broken in local press) even though the document itself was retrievable. Verify the published link's content (title must be the FY2022 Glynn County ACFR) — an HTTP 200 alone is not verification.
Cross-check only: FY2025 total cross-check uses Manager's Transmittal Letter — Fiscal Year 2025 Budget (OpenGov Stories, Sept. 20, 2024) — stories.opengov.com/glynncountyga — for §7 comparison only; no FY2025 sections are built from that story page.
All figures are taken exactly as cited from Glynn County documents; every breakdown on this page was recomputed and sums exactly to its stated total (all-funds $241,856,305; General Fund $79,459,953; FY2022 governmental fund balances $131,631,793). No figures were invented or interpolated. A Squarespace-hosted “FY2022-ACFR.pdf” found in search is the Coastal Regional Commission's ACFR, not Glynn County's, and was not used.
