These veterans also may apply at any time and do not have to meet the September 1 filing deadline.
There are no income limits to receive the Homestead Tax Credit. Within the past tax year: The home must be your primary residence and you must have lived there for at least six months. The home wasn't transferred to a new owner.
Your net worth, not including the value of the property on which you are seeking the credit or any qualified retirement savings or Individual Retirement Accounts, must be less than $200,000. Your combined gross household income cannot exceed $60,000.
In Maryland, the homestead exemption applies to real property, including your home, inium, or co-op. You must own and occupy the property to protect it. The homestead exemption also applies to a manufactured home you have converted to real property by permanently affixing it to the land.
The credit is based on the 10% limit for purposes of the State property tax, and 10% or less for purposes of local taxation. In other words, the homeowner pays no property tax on the assessment increase which is above the limit.
The home must be your primary residence and you must have lived there for at least six months. The home wasn't transferred to a new owner. These wasn't a change in zoning that resulted in an increased property value. The purpose or use of the property was not substantially changed.
