The Maryland Blind Persons Exemption Application is an application for a property tax exemption for blind persons who own a home in the state of Maryland. This application can be found on the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation website. This exemption reduces the amount of tax an eligible blind person must pay on their primary residence by up to 50%. This exemption is available to blind persons who have resided in their home for at least six months of the tax year and who have an income of less than $50,000. There are two types of Maryland Blind Persons Exemption Applications: an Initial Exemption Application and a Renewal Exemption Application. The Initial Exemption Application is used to apply for the first time and the Renewal Exemption Application is used to reapply for the exemption each year.
