in the State of Maryland (approximately 2,500,000 accounts) from
this database, as well as sales of real property. Data

Homestead
Eligibility Application
All Maryland homeowners are required to make a one-time application in order to be eligible to receive or continue receiving the Homestead Tax Credit. The Homestead Tax Credit law limits each year the amount of assessment increase on which an eligible resident homeowner actually pays County, Municipal and State property taxes. The application is required to insure that all property owners receive the credit on the one property used as their principal residence and not on properties used for other purposes, such as a rental or vacation home.
Real Property Assessment Appeal form: This service is available for 45 days after reassessment notices are mailed in late December. For more information on the assessment process read the online brochure. Properties in Maryland are reassessed on a three year rolling cycle; you may view reassessment maps for each county online.
