How to read this
- Riverside County government payments (money paid out; source: County of Riverside (Check Book, open expenditures)), not federal obligations. They include federal and state grant money the county spends, so don't add them to federal or state totals.
- Riverside County fiscal years run July to June (FY2027 started July 2026).
- Riverside County's ledger includes ~$7.5B a year of property taxes it collects and passes on to cities, schools and districts (spending category local aid), and transfers between its own funds, so its totals are larger than the county's reported spending; most lines (payroll, transfers) name no payee.
