Carroll County - Office of Permits and Inspections - Denial of Commercial Permit or License for Unpaid Personal Property Taxes

SB 450 prohibits Carroll County's Office of Permits and Inspections from denying or renewing commercial permits/licenses due to unpaid personal property taxes, except under specific conditions. The bill allows denial only if the applicant hasn't disputed the tax amount (via submitted evidence) or hasn't paid previously unpaid taxes (with proof of payment). It directly affects businesses seeking commercial permits in Carroll County, requiring them to either dispute tax claims or provide payment verification to avoid denial. The law takes effect October 1, 2026, and applies solely to Carroll County's local permitting process.
