State Property Tax Exemption- Disabled Veterans and Surviving Spouses. Armed Services veterans with a permanent and total service connected disability rated 100% by the Veterans Administration may receive an exemption from real property taxes on the dwelling house and surrounding yard.
EXEMPTION AMOUNT CHART The personal exemption is $3,200. This exemption is reduced once the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000 ($150,000 if filing Joint, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child).
Responsibility for the assessment of all personal property throughout Maryland rests with the Department of Assessments and Taxation. Personal property generally includes furniture, fixtures, office and industrial equipment, machinery, tools, supplies, inventory and any other property not classified as real property.
The amount of the tax bill is determined by two factors: (1) the assessment and (2) the property tax rate for each jurisdiction (state, county, & municipal). Assessments are based on the fair market value of the property and are issued by the Department of Assessments and Taxation, an agency of state government.
