Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich announced Friday he is proposing a 3.5% property tax rate increase in order to fully fund Montgomery County Public Schools’ (MCPS) $3.65 billion budget request for the upcoming fiscal year.[/quote]

The 3.5% increase is just to cover the MCPS increase. What is the whole tax increase?[/quote]

It doesn’t cover the full amount. It’s $34mill less than MCPS requested but still an increase from last year:
“The FY26 recommended budget provides a total of $3.62 billion for MCPS, responding to an unprecedented $284 million requested increase from the Superintendent and Board of Education to meet significant needs. The County's contribution increases by $250 million—the largest-ever year-over-year increase—which funds negotiated compensation agreements, increases the number of special education teachers and paraeducators, and enhances school security.”
