Maryland weighs broader local tax powers amid housing affordability warnings
Original: Maryland weighs broader local tax powers as housing groups warn buyers will be priced out
Maryland lawmakers are considering giving local governments broader authority to raise taxes, a proposal that has drawn objections from housing advocacy groups. Critics warn the additional tax powers would increase costs for homeowners and price potential buyers out of the state's already tight housing market. Supporters of the measure argue localities need more fiscal flexibility to fund services, but opponents say affordability should take priority.
Why now: The proposal comes as housing affordability remains a pressing concern, making new tax powers contentious.
