Ballinger audit shows stable finances, strong utility growth

SHARE NOW

The City of Ballinger is now fully current on its financial reporting, with the release of its fiscal year 2025 audit.

Auditors issued a clean opinion, finding the city’s financial statements fairly presented and in line with standard accounting rules.

Overall net position rose to about 10-point-9 million dollars, with most gains driven by business-type operations like water and sewer services.

Those utilities generated strong operating income and helped boost total net position by nearly 900-thousand dollars.

Governmental funds remained steady, ending the year with about 1-point-4 million dollars in fund balance, despite a modest operating deficit offset by transfers and asset sales.

The report also shows continued investment in infrastructure and manageable long-term debt, with no immediate concerns about the city’s financial stability.

City leaders say the updated audit brings Ballinger fully back in compliance and provides a clear picture moving forward.
