WICOMICO COUNTY “TAX CALCULATOR” UP & RUNNING ON COUNTY WEBSITE
In presenting the proposed Fiscal Year 2012 Budget to the Wicomico County Council on April 19th, County Executive Richard M. Pollitt, Jr., promised that a “tax calculator” to measure the suggested nickel tax increase would be on the county website “as soon as possible.” Mr. Pollitt announced today that, “It is up and running.”
The Wicomico County website is http://www.wicomicocounty.org/. On the homepage, there is a column on the right called “What’s New?” At the top of that column is a link titled “Proposed Tax Rate Comparison Calculator.” Users are advised to click on that link to go to the calculator.
There are two steps. If you do not know your most recent assessment value, the first is a link to the State of Maryland Real Property Database where users can access that information. County officials urge users to follow the directions carefully when they reach the link. The second is the calculator. Users may simply enter their assessment value, click on “calculate” and the device will provide specific numbers of the impact of the proposed nickel increase on the user.
In announcing the calculator, Mr. Pollitt said that, “I want to take the guess work out of this for our tax payers. I have proposed a nickel tax increase to maintain vital county services. I want the property owner to know exactly how much this is going to cost.”
The calculator does not take into effect changes in assessment from year-to-year or effects of the Homestead Credit. It is intended merely to define the effect of a nickel tax increase.

monies belong to the goverment. they and they alone will decide what parts you take home. a little more expressed appreciation on your part for the fine job we are doing, would be in order.
I have not seen my taxes go down in the 23 years I have lived in my home. Next the SLICK RICK CALULATOR forgot to include the state part of yor tax. You may want to add that to your bill to get what your REAL TAX BILL will be.
WAKE UP TAX PAYERS... DON'T LET SLICK RICK FOOL YOU AGAIN!
When I went to school we were taught to calculate by hand, don't need slick Rick's calculator thank you.
