State Tax Commission Defends 1917 Reassessment Plan
The Maryland State Tax Commission explains its 1917 reassessment policy as part of a recurring effort to equalize property values after a four-county review in 1920. It notes that assessments often lag sale prices, with Frederick at 54 percent, Montgomery 50 percent, Washington about 53 percent, and Harford at 63 percent, and clarifies that sale prices are not the basis for assessments.
