Progressive Income Tax Proposed for Montgomery County Residents

Council President Fani-González's FY27 budget proposal includes a new progressive County income tax structure with rates ranging from 2.5 percent to 3.3 percent, tied to Maryland Adjusted Gross Income. Under the structure, 96 percent of Montgomery County households would receive a tax reduction, while those earning above $300,000 would pay slightly more. The proposal is part of the broader FY27 Operating Budget revision announced April 17, 2026.
