[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And here's a key thing that the articles I've seen on the topic don't mention. Our property assessments went up.. by about 13% state-wide: https://thebaynet.com/maryland-property-tax-assessments-rise-by-average-12-7-for-2026/ That means by not adjusting the rates at all, the County already gets more revenue because their taxing higher values. So why do they need to raise the rates also? Bad leadership -- if they can't make it work with the increase they are already getting due to higher assessments, then that means they are not willing to actually manage the budget, and are just letting it head upwards and never say no to anything.[/quote] And when assessments go down, as they almost certainly will this year, you can bet they’ll come back to raise the rate again. Constant yield held tax increases (based on the amount you actually pay) in check better than constant rate. [/quote]
