Frederick County Council News Mason Carter, District 5 August 2026 [email protected] • 301-600-1034 As the Frederick County Council concluded its final meeting before our annual summer recess, we acted on several important issues affecting Frederick County residents. One of the most significant actions was the unanimous (7-0) approval of legislation strengthening the County's Elderly Individual Tax Credit Program. This program provides meaningful property tax relief to long-time homeowners, and I was pleased to successfully offer an amendment that increased the maximum tax credit from 20 percent to 30 percent. Under the updated program, homeowners who are 65 years of age or older, have a household income below $120,000, and have lived in their home for at least 30 consecutive years may qualify for the enhanced credit. The credit applies to the first $500,000 of a home's assessed value, or the full assessed value if it is less than $500,000. I believe this expansion will help more seniors remain in their homes while easing the burden of rising property taxes. If you have questions about whether you qualify, I encourage you to contact my office or the Frederick County Treasury Office for assistance. The Council also voted 5-2 to approve a 5.4 percent increase to the Frederick County Soil Conservation District fee schedule. Council Member McKay and I opposed the increase because I believe these additional costs will ultimately be passed on to t …
