Maryland Senior Property Tax Credits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at the tax credits Maryland seniors can get on their property and see how these programs might help you save money. Here&#8217;s a breakdown of what you need to know about qualifying and the limits that apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Available_Tax_Credits\"><\/span>Types of Available Tax Credits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryland gives senior homeowners two simple tax credit options. The Homeowners&#8217; Property Tax Credit stands out as the cornerstone program. This sets your property tax limits based on what you earn. On top of that, you&#8217;ll find Senior Tax Credits in many counties that can help lower your taxes even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Eligibility_Requirements\"><\/span>Simple Eligibility Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These tax credits are a great way to get some tax relief, but you&#8217;ll need to meet these criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your age must be 65 or older<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The property must be your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/seniorsite.org\/resource\/a-beginners-guide-to-state-by-state-medicaid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">principal residence<\/a>\u00a0and you need to live there at least six months of the year, including July 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your net worth should stay under $200,000 (this doesn&#8217;t count your property value or retirement accounts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your total household income can&#8217;t go over $60,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximum_Credit_Amounts_and_Limitations\"><\/span>Maximum Credit Amounts and Limitations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your credit gets calculated through this formula based on your income:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>0% of first $8,000 of household income<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4% of next $4,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6.5% of next $4,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9% of all income above $16,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that credits only work for the first $300,000 of your property&#8217;s assessed value. The credit won&#8217;t help with metropolitan charges or water and sewer services on your tax bill. Owners of large properties should know that the credit only applies to the lot where your house sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Submit your application by April 15 to see the credit on your tax bill right away. Applications that come in between April 15 and October 1 will show up as credits on a revised bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gathering_Required_Documentation\"><\/span>Gathering Required Documentation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s help you gather all the documents you need for your Maryland senior property tax credit application.
