Background

Pursuant to the authority granted in Section 9-245 of the Tax-Property Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, this bill will create a tax credit for individuals who are at least 65 years of age and who qualify to receive the State Homeowners’ Property Tax Credit. This income-targeted credit will be fifty percent (50%) of the State credit, and will not require an additional application beyond the application for the State credit.
