Rain Tax: Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy plans on signing a “rain tax” bill passed by the state legislature. ⁣ ⁣ A stormwater fee, also known as a rain tax, is a charge imposed on real estate owners for pollution in stormwater drainage from impervious surface runoff.⁣ ⁣ This system introduced in Germany in the 1990s that imposes a tax that is proportional to impervious areas, such as concrete or asphalt, that does not absorb rain to the surface.⁣ ⁣ Rain tax is implemented in Germany and the United States. ⁣ ⁣ #raintax #stephensbrostaxservice #stephensbros #snowtax #suntax #salestax #sodatax #propertytax #laughoutloudtax #summertax #wintertax https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt0ypfuHa8M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=152pm7zt8cbb

Rain Tax - Frederick County

by Joseph Reed (aka @mainstreamjoe), Baltimore suburbs

We need to get some hookers up in here 'cus I might be a Blaine Young supporter.

The Frederick County stormwater fee doesn’t discriminate whether a property is a business, residential, or nonprofit.  All eligible properties will only have to pay a penny ($0.01), thanks to a vote on March 7 by the Frederick County Board of County Commissioners. This fee will generate $482.50 when collected from across the county.

Frederick County Commissioner President Blaine Young says that the board set the fee so low “just to be in compliance because we are completely in disagreement with why we are having to do this.”

“We would’ve done a tenth of a cent if it was legal,” Young said, adding that he expects the fee to remain the same and be finalized on Thursday. The Board of County Commissioners also doesn’t believe the science used to justify the policy is correct.

There will be a public hearing on the fee on Thursday to discuss the fee and the program it funds.
