  1. Constant Yield Tax

The Constant Yield Tax Rate is calculated by the State for each taxing authority in Maryland. It represents the Real Property Tax Rate for the coming tax year that would generate the same amount of revenue (collect the same amount of tax dollars) in FY21 that was generated during the current tax year (FY20). As assessments increase, the Constant Yield Tax Rate decreases. Implicit in this concept is the idea that, if the Mayor and Council set a FY21 tax rate at or below the FY20 tax rate, this would still represent a tax increase if it is higher than the constant yield tax rate. When a taxing authority, e.g. the Town of Cheverly, plans to impose a Real Property Tax Rate that is higher than the Constant Yield Tax Rate, it must advertise the tax increase and hold a public hearing. If the taxing authority plans to set its FY21 Real Property Tax Rate at the FY20 level, but above the Constant Yield Tax Rate, it must be advertised, and a hearing must be held.

  1. Worksession Agenda

Mayor-an opportunity for the Mayor to invite Councilmembers to submit items for her consideration for placement in future Mayor and Council Worksessions.

  1. Mayor and Council Announcements
