Frederick County Lowers Tax Rate Amid Budget Increase
Frederick County commissioners cut the real estate tax rate from 2.22 to 2.19 per 100 assessed value and adopted a 93 million operating budget for 1967, boosting expenditures by 12.4 percent. The average taxpayer will see bills rise from 605 to 643, aided by new local funding for job training aging and Head Start. A 12 million capital budget funds surplus budgeting and public works, with 44 million for the school board, and no new sheriff deputies despite requests. Additional measures include higher water sewer rates in Ballenger Creek and Lake Linganore, a 25 fine for public no smoking zones, 100 fine for uncovered loads, and a lead solder ban for plumbers. Parking ticket hearings contemplated with a 25 fine, not in evenings or weekends.
