CivBudget Puts Public Budgets on the Record

Field notes

CivBudget presents public-finance records through entity search, category filters, figure-level citations, and links back to official documents. Its visible Brunswick County pilot combines an adopted FY 2026-27 budget of $477,914,552 with unaudited spending through May 31, 2026, including fund and service-area breakdowns. The page also explains that budget-versus-spending differences can reflect timing, encumbrances, transfers, or later amendments rather than automatically indicating a problem.
