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, and housing advocacy groups are warning the change could push home prices further out of reach for buyers. Supporters see it as a way to fund local services, while opponents argue added tax burdens would worsen the state's already strained housing affordability crisis.
Why now: Housing affordability is a pressing concern, and the proposed tax powers could directly affect homebuyers and local budgets across Maryland.
