FAQ
To qualify for the Homestead Exemption, the property must be the owner's primary residence and be owner-occupied. Currently, Upper Gwynedd is offering a $30,000 exemption on the assessed valuation of your property.
The Senior Tax Credit is available to homeowners at least 65 for whom the property is their principal residence (see the HOTC page for details); Interested homeowners must submit the Homeowners Tax Credit Application to the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT).
Eligibility Requirements Your net worth, excluding the value of the property you're seeking the credit for and any qualified retirement savings or IRAs, must be less than $200,000. The total household income before taxes must be $60,000 or less.
You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.
A further condition is that the dwelling must be the owner's principal residence and the owner must have lived in it for at least six months of the year, including July 1 of the year for which the credit is applicable, unless the owner was temporarily unable to do so by reason of illness or need of special care.
If you are over 65 years of age, or permanent and totally disabled (regardless of age), or blind (regardless of age), you are exempt from the state portion of property tax. County taxes may still be due. Please contact your local taxing official to claim your homestead exemption.
The credit is calculated based on the 10% limit for purposes of the State property tax, and 10% or less (as determined by local governments) for purposes of local taxation. In other words, the homeowner pays no property tax on the market value increase which is above the limit.
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.
Items for standard homestead exemption: Own and occupy the property as your primary residence. Copy of an accepted form of ID (i.e. a driver license or passport) for each residing owner. Affidavit for Homestead Exemption (provided by the Revenue Commission; must be notarized if signed out of office)
If you are over 65 years of age, or permanent and totally disabled (regardless of age), or blind (regardless of age), you are exempt from the state portion of property tax. County taxes may still be due. Please contact your local taxing official to claim your homestead exemption.
