Bill > HB1127

This bill expands eligibility for the homestead property tax credit, a reduction in property taxes for homeowners, to include additional residences in Washington County, Maryland, and will apply to all taxable years beginning after June 30, 2026. The homestead property tax credit is a program designed to lower property tax burdens for eligible homeowners. The bill specifically defines "Washington County Additional Residence" to encompass houses and their associated lots or curtilage within Washington County, including condominium units, apartments in cooperative apartment corporations, and parts of properties used for residential purposes where an individual has a legal interest. This change aims to broaden the scope of properties that can benefit from this tax relief in that specific county.
