Vanderburgh County Announces 2026 Budget Constraints
Evansville, IN – Due to anticipated reductions in tax revenue resulting from Senate Bill 1 (SB1), the Vanderburgh County Commissioners and County Council have announced that the 2026 county budget will face significant limitations.
Department heads have been informed that budget increase requests for 2026 will not be considered, with the only likely exceptions being for previously signed contractual obligations.
This proactive measure is necessary to maintain financial stability in light of the revenue shortfalls expected under SB1.
Vanderburgh County remains focused on responsible stewardship of public funds and appreciates the cooperation of all departments and community partners during this time of adjustment.
