The 2011 Budget and Tax Rate book is now available.  The Budget & Tax Rate book contains data assembled from survey responses from the finance and budget offices of each Maryland county and Baltimore City as well as information provided by several State agencies, including the Comptroller, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, the State Emergency Number Systems Board and the Maryland Department of Planning.  Without their cooperation and hard work, this report’s preparation would be impossible.  MACo appreciates their assistance, and thanks each of them for their contributions.
