PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
The County Commissioners of Charles County proposes to
increase real property taxes.
1.For the tax year beginning July 1, 2008, the estimated real
property assessable base will increase by 9% from
$12,295,269,757 to $13,407,139,007 in the unincorporated
areas.
2.If Charles County maintains the current tax rate of $1.026 per
$100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will increase by
9% resulting in $11,407,779 of new real property tax revenues.
3.In order to fully offset the effect of increasing assessments,
the real property tax rate should be reduced to $.941 the constant
yield tax rate.
4.The County is considering not reducing its real property tax
rate enough to fully offset increasing assessments. The County
proposes to adopt a real property tax rate of $1.026 per $100 of
assessment. This tax rate is 9% higher than the constant yield
tax rate and will generate $11,407,779 in additional property tax
revenues.
