Trailer Park Tax Challenged in Frederick County Court
Geneva Beard, owner of a trailer park coach, files a bill of complaint in Bealty Court charging portions of the county trailer park tax law passed last session are unconstitutional. The suit names County Treasurer James H. Falk and Frederick County Board of Commissioners as defendants. Beard argues the weekly park fee and $1 per space charge are a discriminatory property tax on trailer coaches, which are tangible personal property and not business property, and thus should be uniformly assessed by the state. Chief Judge Patrick M. Schnaufer orders show cause by Oct 26.
