COUNTY:
- Energy Tax: The proposed FY 16 Operating Budget includes an energy tax at the same level as FY 15 - an almost 100% increase from the taxes levied in 2010. The energy tax was passed in 2010 with a provision to sunset in two years. Five years later, it is still intact and now represents the third highest source of tax generated revenue for the county. MCCC opposed this increase and asks you to voice your opposition too! Find out how you can take action here.
- Early Bird Benchmarking Program: Montgomery County Government is offering an "Early Bird Recognition" program for building owners who benchmark early. Find out more here.
