FY20 Proposed Budget Shows No Increase in Taxes

Westminster, MD, Tuesday, April 30, 2019 –Today, during Open Session, the Department of Management and Budget met with the Board of County Commissioners to release the FY2020 Proposed Budget and the Fiscal Year 2020 to 2025 Recommended Budget Plans. The commissioners discussed the difficulty in balancing this year’s budget, the emphasis on the large percentage of non-discretionary, state-dictated funding and their satisfaction in not increasing taxes.  The budget is available on the county’s website at www.carrollcountymd.gov
