Montgomery OKs construction tax amid growth concerns
Montgomery County approves a construction tax with rates up to 3.75 per square foot for singlefamily homes and 2 for commercial spaces, with exemptions for 1200 square feet and partial taxation for certain facilities. Officials expect about 3 million in revenue directed to a transportation trust while delaying full discussion until January, as critics call it a smokescreen for growth and congestion relief remains uncertain.
