Frederick County could lower tax rate while keeping services
Frederick County faces a $1.4 billion assessable real estate base for 1985 and a projected $5.2 million in property tax revenue at the current $2.25 rate. State figures suggest the rate could drop to $2.08 while preserving last year's services, including education and public safety, with a May constant yield hearing planned. Local officials note steady growth since 1981, 1,300 new property owner accounts, and rising property values, especially outside Thurmont Brunswick and along major highways. The City of Frederick accounts for about $376 million of the county's base.
