The Department of Legislative Services has re-designed its webpages, providing a more direct route to legislative, budgetary, and other statewide reports.

The Department of Legislative Services develops a number of annual reports on local finances, demographics, and state aid to local governmental entities. The reports may be found through the General Assembly’s webpage, but the Department’s new website now provides a simpler route to them.

Check out the Department of Legislative Service’s Publications page.

Reports provided include 2017 fiscal year information on:

• Overview of Maryland Local Governments – Finances and Demographic Information 2017
• Overview of State Aid to Local Governments – Fiscal 2018 Allowance
• The Balance Sheet – A County by County Comparison of State Aid and State Tax Revenues Collected Fiscal 2015

2018 fiscal year information will be released toward the start of the General Assembly Session in December 2017 and January 2018.
