Garrett Reduces Tax

Garrett County Commissioners have approved reducing the local Real Property Tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year, lowering it from $1.02 to just $1.00 per $100 of assessed value. The decision follows a review of current financial models, indicating that Garrett County can responsibly reduce the tax rate while continuing to fund essential services and obligations.
