When you received your Property Tax documents in the mail recently from the State of Maryland, and quickly put it aside because it said, “This is not a Bill” you may harm yourself.
Previously, the State of Maryland included a Homestead Tax Credit automatically if your home is your primary residence. This year, you must APPLY FOR THE HOMESTEAD TAX CREDIT. So, make sure when you get your Tax Assessment notice that you look for the form that is supposed to be enclosed, fill it out and send it in IMMEDIATELY. It will save you a lot of money.
More details may be found on-line at: http://www.dat.state.md.us Click on the Homestead Eligibility Application on the left. Then click on the “Click Here in Red” to download the application. The application includes information that most of don’t know without assistance from the web site. The County Code is 05 for Calvert County.
