Maryland Home Property Valuation
Real property in Maryland is appraised at market value and taxed on assessed value. The assessment was recently changed to full value, or 100 percent of market value. Both state and local real property taxes are applied to assessed value.
• Property tax bills are issued in July/August of each year by the 23 counties and Baltimore City along with the 155 incorporated municipalities (cities) in Maryland. Tax bills are rendered for the upcoming fiscal year and are effective as of July 1st. Assessments are based on the fair market value of the property and are issued by the Department of Assessments and Taxation.
Homestead Property Tax Credit Exemption
Technically, the Homestead Credit does not limit the market value of the property as determined by the Department of Assessments and Taxation. It is actually a credit applied against the tax due on the portion of the reassessment exceeding 10% (or the lower local limit) from one year to the next. The credit is calculated based on the 10% limit for purposes of the State property tax, and 10% or less (as determined by local governments) for purposes of local taxation. In other words, the homeowner pays no property tax on the assessment increase which is above the limit.
