Important Updates on Rockville 2020 Tax Increase
Most people received in the mail the week of November 18, 2019 their 2020 Proposed Tax Statement. The statement shows the proposed 38.31% tax levy increase that Rockville is contemplating and what it amounts to in tax dollars for your property. If you have questions and concerns about this increase it is important to contact the Rockville Mayor and City Council members before the December 11, 2019 Council Meeting. At this meeting, the 2020 budget for Rockville will be set.
