General Fund Receipts

Year-over-Year Comparisons

The largest increases were Unclaimed Property Receipts (+$10.2M), Sales and Use Tax (+$7.8M), and Net Transfers In (+$5.4M). The increase in Unclaimed Property Receipts is due to claims being paid from the Trust Fund for Unclaimed Property in FY2026 rather than the general fund.

Total ongoing general fund revenues for FY2026 were $114.8M or 4.8% more than last fiscal year (page 2). The largest increase was Sales and Use Tax (+$94.4M). The largest decrease was Investment Income and Interest (-$24.0M).

Total general fund revenues for FY2026 were $29.7M or 1.1% more than the legislative revised adopted estimate (page 5). This includes an increase of $15.8M in ongoing revenue and an increase of $13.9M in one-time revenue.
