Guadalupe County budgets $5 million in investment interest for FY2027, even after lowering the forecast by $300,000. That is a sizable revenue line to plan around—and still only an estimate.
For county residents, that forecast represents about 4.99% of planned general-fund revenue for county operations. The county’s adopted FY2027 budget covers Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2027.
