property tax change

Small town in Md. just passed a bill to give everyone 70 or older a 500.00break on property tax but you have to live here 15 yrs.Is this legal or fair for people who have not lived here that long?

Re: property tax change

Apparently the town is trying to reward permanent or long term residents who have paid property taxes over a long period of time, and filter out short termers who have just arrived. Whether it is fair is a matter of opinion. And the only way to determine the legality of this law is a court challenge, probably on "equal protection" grounds.
