In a proposed $139.7 million budget for next year, Rockville officials are planning on no increase in property tax rates and a slight decrease in spending.
Taxes would still go up because of rising property values.
The Fiscal Year 2022 budget is proposed with a decrease in spending of less than 1% from the current fiscal year’s budget, which was approved at $140.2 million. The fiscal year begins on July 1.
If Rockville officials do not increase property taxes again this year, the rates will have stayed at the same level or dropped for more than 25 straight years.
