Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation issued the following announcement on Aug. 15.
SDAT is urging Marylanders to consider whether they may be eligible to receive a homeowners’ or renters’ property tax credit and to submit an annual application before the September 4 deadline. Combined, these two tax credit programs helped more than 55,000 Marylanders save more than $65 million in taxes in 2017. SDAT has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Benefits Data Trust (BDT) to promote these tax credits and help low-income homeowners’ and renters’ complete their applications.
“Every year, our Department contacts more than one hundred thousand low-income Marylanders who may be eligible for tax relief, and we remain committed to finding innovative and effective ways to encourage them to apply,” said SDAT Director Michael Higgs. “We are excited about our new partnership with BDT, which will make it even easier for individuals and families in-need to find and apply for the homeowners’ and renters’ tax credits.”
