This Will Never Happen In Wicomico County

A $100 rebate check could end up in the mailboxes of Frederick County residents this year whose property tax bill is higher than $100.

Commissioners President Blaine Young announced Tuesday he will propose the refund at Thursday's board meeting.

"We believe injecting $9 million into Frederick County communities is worthwhile," Young said. "This is going to be real money in people's pockets. They can do with it what they want."

The roughly 86,000 property taxpayers in the county whose bill is more than $100 would get the rebate checks in the mail, Young said. The 4,000 who pay less than $100 would get a credit on their bill.

The proposal would replace Young's plan from December to offer a 3- or 4-cent decrease in the property tax rate.
