Tammy Murphy is running for Montgomery County Auditor to bring transparency, fairness, and responsible financial oversight to taxpayers across Montgomery County. With decades of real estate experience and deep community involvement, she understands how property values, assessments, and tax policies affect everyday residents.
Community Meetings & Local Insights
I show up in our communities, attend the meetings, and I listen to residents. I take part in real conversations about what is happening locally.
When someone invites me, I go. I believe in open and honest dialogue.
Because understanding what residents feel is essential.
Like many of you, I am asking:
👉 Why has the system fallen short?
👉 How can we make it better?
👉 What needs to change moving forward?
These are not headlines or secondhand reports. Instead, they are firsthand insights from meetings across Montgomery County…
Empowering Residents Through Transparency and Understanding
Property taxes affect every neighborhood, school district, and local service — yet many residents are left guessing how values are determined and where their tax dollars go.
This campaign is focused on education, accountability, and transparency, so residents can understand the system, ask informed questions, and feel confident in how local government works.
📘 Commitment to Education
Residents deserve clear explanations — not technical language or confusing processes. An informed community is better equipped to make decisions and hold government accountable.
🧾 Focus on Accountability
Accuracy matters. Fair property valuations and reliable public records are essential to maintaining trust between residents and local government.
🔍 Transparency in Governance
Public information should be accessible and understandable. Transparency isn’t a slogan — it’s a responsibility to the people served.
Why the County Auditor Matters to You
When property values change, families feel the impact — often without clear explanation. Rising costs create pressure, and unanswered questions erode trust.
The County Auditor’s role isn’t political. It’s practical. When done well, it provides clarity, fairness, and confidence for property owners across the county.

Abolish Property Taxes
Citizen, REALTOR®, Small Business Owner. I have seen firsthand how repeated property tax increases strain homeowners, fixed-income residents, and first-time buyers. And I understand the importance of financial responsibility, transparency, and accountable public funding.
As your Future County Auditor, my responsibility will be clear & unwavering:
to administer the law fairly, accurately, & transparently—whatever voters decide.
I support the ballot initiative to abolish property taxes — not as a political slogan, but as a long-standing civic concern rooted in fairness and transparency. This position did not begin with a campaign. It developed over years of education, advocacy, and public dialogue about how property taxes impact homeowners and communities.
At the same time, meaningful change requires thoughtful planning. I believe our communities can grow, develop, and thrive through responsible alternative funding models that reduce the burden on taxpayers while maintaining essential services. My goal is to protect homeowners from unfair strain while supporting sustainable, well-managed local government.
