Homestead Tax Credit

If you have recently received your revised Property Tax Assessment Notice, an Application For Homestead Tax Credit Eligibility was included in the envelope containing your Tax Assessment. The Homestead Tax Credit law limits the amount of assessment increase on which an eligible resident homeowner actually pays county, municipal and State property taxes each year.

Even if your home is presently designated as your Primary Residence, YOU MUST complete this application in order to continue to receive the Homestead Tax Credit. In order to complete the application:

1. Go to www.dat.state.md.us,

2. Click on the link titled Homestead Eligibility Application appearing in the middle column,

3. Then click on the next link titled Homestead Eligibility Application, and

4. Follow the easy to understand instructions from the Department of Assessment and Taxation web site.

This form should be submitted within the next 60 days. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Bob Greenfest at 240-499-2075 or via email at BGreenfest@SantosPostal.com.
