Real Property Tax Information

Real Property Tax Bill
Your Tax Bill	Your tax bill is issued in July each year. Taxes are subject to interest and penalty if not received by the date shown on the front of your bill. Real property taxes that remain unpaid by the second Monday in May will be sold to the highest bidder at the County's annual tax sale. Failure to receive a tax bill will not relieve the taxpayer from paying taxes, interest and penalty.
Assessment and Tax Rate	Your assessment and tax rate are shown on the front of your tax bill. To calculate your bill, multiply the assessment by the tax rate, divide by 100, add any charges -- the result should equal the amount due. To view your property assessment information, search the State's property assessment database State Search
Credits	The Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation makes tax credits available to qualified individuals. Contact that office for information about the Homeowner's Tax Credit, Homestead Tax Credit, 100% Disabled Veteran Exemption or Blind Exemption. The telephone number is 301-952-2500 or at www.dat.state.md.us.
Charges	You may have one or more charges on your tax bill: Front Foot Benefit -- the cost of installing sewer and/or water pipes under the street adjacent to the property (for further information, contact the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission at 301-206-8032) Solid Waste Service -- providing trash pickup and/or support of various waste programs (for further information, contact Dept. of Environmental Resources at 301-952-7630) Tax Lien -- a charge to enforce unpaid taxes, fines, etc. for State, County and Municipal governments (for further information, contact the Treasury Division at 301-952-4030)
