Montgomery County repeals construction tax vote
The Montgomery County Council voted 6 to 3 to repeal the 1991 construction excise tax set to start July 1, with supporters arguing it burdens builders and opponents saying it shifts costs to taxpayers. A separate vote extended the first $500 of the transfer tax exemption for owner occupied homes under 250000 to June 30, 1996, reducing revenues by about 2.5 million.
