In the last two years, Baltimore County developers received almost 1,000 exemptions from having to pay fees that would have gone toward building public infrastructure, generating far less money than the county expected to recoup. Between January 2021 and December 2021, developers received 539 exemptions. The following year, between January 2022 and December 2022, they received 459 exemptions, for a total of 998 exemptions, according to data from the Baltimore County Planning Board.
