New Trash Contract Awarded

Over the next few months, the Town will provide more details on what dual stream means for you and the new trash schedule, as half the Town will be picked up on Mondays and Thursdays and the other half of the Town on Tuesdays and Fridays.

FY2024 Proposed Budget & Tax Rate

The Commissioners of Poolesville are pleased to present the FY2024 Budget and Tax Rate. The FY 2024 proposed budget maintains the constant tax rate of .1781¢ per $100.00 of assessment, and water rates remain the same. The Town’s proposed FY 2024 Budget is balanced, funds all debt service obligations, and funds critical operation and maintenance items. As has been the case for the last several years, the Town continues to grapple with rising costs for construction projects, equipment replacement, and overall increased costs for goods and services.

A Public Hearing will be held on April 3, 2023, at 7:00 PM @ Town Hall.
