Tallulah Falls Council adopts $476,575 FY2026 general fund budget, later amends it

In March 2025, the Town Council set a calendar for preparing the fiscal year 2026 budget, scheduling council work sessions for April 17 and May 15 to review the plan before a public hearing and adoption.

At the April 17 work session, the Council reviewed the proposed FY2026 general fund ($476,575) and water fund ($102,000) budgets along with other funds, and set a public hearing for May 15.

The Council held the FY2026 budget public hearing on May 15, 2025, after the proposed budget had been available to the public since late April. On June 12, 2025, the Council voted unanimously to adopt the FY2026 budget, appropriating $476,575 in the general fund and $102,000 in the water fund along with SPLOST, TSPLOST and hotel/motel fund budgets.

Mid-year financial reports presented to the Council in April 2026 tracked collections and spending against the adopted FY2026 budget for the School Zone Camera Fund, the SPLOST fund covering Habersham and Rabun county projects, and the TSPLOST transportation fund.

On July 9, 2026, the Council unanimously approved a 2026 budget amendment that reclassified line items without changing total expenditures.
