No. 27

(House Joint Resolution No. 27)

A House Joint Resolution concerning

Montgomery County Boundary - Resurvey

FOR the purpose of requesting the Secretary of Natural
Resources to direct the Haryland Geological Survey to
resurvey and remark certain segments of the boundary
separating Montgomery County from Frederick and Howard
Counties.

Parts of the boundary lines which separate Montgomery
County from Frederick and Howard Counties were last surveyed
in 1835, and over the intervening years, many of the survey
monuments have been lost. It is presently unclear where the
borderline lies; indeed, the total number of square miles in
Montgomery County is unknown.

As the areas near the county boundary are developed,
the task of resurveying will become increasingly difficult
and controversial. Furthermore, the Montgomery County tax
rolls are presently being computerized, and an accurate
boundary is necessary for equitable and accurate tax
assessments by the counties.
