Whoops! Someone forgot to check the Maryland statutes regarding what rates the counties are allowed to impose for their income (or piggyback) tax.
Had that happened, the Worcester County Commissioners would have known two weeks ago that they could not lower the county’s piggyback tax rate from 2.25% on residents’ taxable income to 2%.
The upshot of correcting that mistake is that the county, which was already flush with money because of strong growth in property and income tax revenue, will end up with more money left over than it realized.
