Ar estimated 10000 Mont.
gomery County residents will re-
ceive notices of new assessments
by April Is.
Sharpest increases will be felt
by landowners in the rural cleo
ton districts where the new as
sessments are the first in eight
years.
Most suburban property own
ers-some 70,000-will receive
no new notices.
That is because the attorney
general has ruled that notices
need not be mailed to property
owners unless their assessments
have been changed.
Suburbs Assessed in 1858
The suburban area was as
sessed in 1858 under the final
year of the f%ive-year cycle law.
Increases were steep. averaging
about IS per cent, because of a
Maryland Court of Appeals rul-
ing that assessments had to be
based on full cash value at the
date the assessment became A.
nal. Changes this year are re-
ported to be slight.
The court ruling came after
the rural district assessments
had been made in Montgomery
County. The result is that the
new rural assessments reflect
land value changes since l94l,
the values used in the 1918
farm assessments.
County assessors have not yet
determined the average per-
centage increase on some 1000
farm assessments being mailed
out. The increases vary from
area to area because Of shifts
in land values.
To Go on Annual Basis
The new assessments become
effective May l and will be used
in calculating the 1867 tax
bills.
The county at that time will
go on an annual assessment basis
along with the rest Of the State.
