As homeowners, landlords, and tenants of Montgomery County, we are facing mounting financial stress due to Marc Elrich's and the County Council’s repeated decisions to raise property taxes. Our real estate taxes have witnessed a drastic increase over the last few years as a result of increased assessments and previous tax rate hikes. Most recently, in 2023, we were subjected to a 4.7% property tax increase. This relentless rise in property taxes has been compounding our housing expenses, making living in Montgomery County increasingly unaffordable.

We believe it's time for a change. We urge Marc Elrich and the County Council to cease increasing the taxes of their constituents and instead focus their efforts on constructing a business-friendly county, capable of generating additional revenue. This will not only relieve the tax burden on the current residents but also attract new businesses and job opportunities. Furthermore, we urge the county to work on creating a balanced budget that does not include raising taxes, and instead stress on reducing the expenses.

We, the citizens of Montgomery County, kindly request Marc Elrich and the County Council to prioritize the economic well-being of their constituents. By signing this petition, you are supporting a more affordable, vibrant, and business-friendly Montgomery County. Sign our petition now to halt further property tax hikes.
