Farm tax waiver may not be legal in Frederick County
Frederick County Commissioners promised a property tax waiver for farmers but a memo from assistant county attorney Wendy Kearney indicates it may be illegal for the county to provide such a waiver. The increase included a 1 cent raise for the waiver program and $50,000 was set aside. The memo notes the BOCC lacks authority to forgive taxes but suggests a funded program with application criteria and distribution methods might be possible.
