Real Property Tax Information
Real
Property Tax Bill |
| Your Tax Bill |
Your tax bill is issued in July each
year. Taxes are subject to interest and penalty if not received
by the date
shown on the front of your bill. Real property taxes that remain
unpaid by May 11th will be sold to the highest bidder at the
County's
annual tax sale. Failure to receive a tax bill will not relieve the
taxpayer from paying taxes, interest and penalty. |
| Assessment and Tax Rate |
Your assessment and tax rate are shown on the front of your tax bill. To calculate your bill, multiply the assessment by the tax rate, divide by 100, add any charges -- the result should equal the amount due. |
| Credits |
The Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation makes tax
credits available to qualified individuals. Contact that office
for information
about the Homeowner's Tax Credit, Homestead Tax Credit, 100% Disabled
Veteran Exemption or Blind Exemption. The telephone number is
301-952-2500
or at www.dat.state.md.us. |
