With municipal officials demanding that Montgomery County reimburse them for services they provide to residents within their borders, the County Council is supporting a new payment plan.
In mid-April, representatives from several local municipalities pressed County Council members to include about $14.2 million in the upcoming budget. That is the amount the municipalities estimated the county owes them for tax duplication.
Tax duplication is the issue of property owners paying taxes to both the municipal and county governments for a service they receive only from the municipality. Tax duplication is resolved with a rebate payment to municipalities.

This story was updated at 4:50 p.m. on Jan. 13, 2021, to clarify current county policy regarding renaming of streets and parks.
Montgomery County officials are moving forward with plans to rename three street names that honor Confederates.
It’s part of the county’s ongoing effort to identify and rename streets, facilities and trails that honor Confederates, Confederate sympathizers, and slaveholders.
The County Council discussed the renaming effort on Tuesday afternoon two days before the Planning Department will introduce a resolution to begin the process of renaming the three streets: Jubal Early Court, J.E.B. Stuart Road, and J.E.B. Stuart Court.
