Carroll County - Public Facilities Bond
HB 833 authorizes Carroll County to issue up to $36.9 million in general obligation bonds to fund public infrastructure projects, including water and sewer systems, roads, schools, and equipment for volunteer fire departments. The bill also permits the use of bond funds for agricultural land preservation easements. Carroll County would repay the bonds through annual property taxes, and the bonds themselves are exempt from state and local taxation. This directly affects Carroll County residents via property taxes and the provision of public services.
