Property Tax Relief Deadline Extended to November
1, 2010
Eligible Montgomery County residents are
encouraged to apply for the Maryland Homeowners Property Tax Credit program,
which limits the amount of property taxes a homeowner must pay based on income.
An additional County supplement and a senior tax credit will automatically apply
to eligible County residents.
For a senior tax credit, residents must be age 70
or older. No additional application is required for either the County
supplement or the senior tax credit. The deadline for the state application
submission has been extended to November 1, 2010.
In order to be eligible, a homeowner must
have:
A combined household income of less than $64,000;
Lived in
their home for at least six months, or will live in it for the next 12 months;
and
A combined net worth (of everyone in the applicants household) of no
more than $200,000. This does not include the value of the primary residence
or the cash value of any qualified retirement savings or individual retirement
accounts.
To apply for the property tax credit program, eligible
homeowners must fill out an application form each year.
To get an
application form, call the Maryland State Department of Assessments and
Taxation (SDAT) at 1-800-944-7403, or download the form and instructions from
the SDAT web site at
