Wealthy resident warns tax base shift for Washington County
A Washington county resident argues that increasing the county tax base from 29 to 30 million under the reassessment would force the county to bear a larger share of the state tax. He says higher bases reduce the county rate but increase overall state burdens, noting Eastern Shore counties also report low bases to minimize state tax. He cites that even if all county property were sold today, value would not exceed 21.06 million.
