During the VERY LONG “FY24 Adopted Budget Work Session” on May 11th, Carroll County Commissioners voted to remove the proposed tax increase in FY24.
The proposed tax increase was on the local Recordation Tax in the county moving it from the current rate of $5/$500 up to $6.25/$500.
In order to fund the loss of revenue the tax increase was scheduled to bring in the Commissioners are proposing using one time funds to cover the gap for this budget cycle.
Here are a few highlights on this topic from the May 11th meeting:

The process is not yet complete as the Commissioners are scheduled to meet on May 16th for another FY24 Adopted Budget Work Session, so additional changes could be made before finalizing the FY 24 budget in the county.
For some background…here are a couple of videos from back in April when the proposed tax increase was on the table:
