Are you a senior homeowner at least age 70?
You may be eligible for a Montgomery County Property Tax Credit
Application Deadline: November 2, 2009
The Maryland and Montgomery County Property Tax Reduction Programs:
The state of Maryland has a program that gives a credit against the homeowner's property tax bill if the property taxes exceed a fixed percentage of the household income. In other words, it sets a limit on the amount of property taxes any homeowner must pay, based on his or her income.
If you are at least 70 years of age, you will automatically receive the Montgomery County Senior Property Tax Credit if you receive either or both of the Maryland and Montgomery County Tax Credits.
Call the Tax Credits Telephone Service at 410-767-4433 or 1-800-944-7403 to apply or for more information.
