People will be taxed from their homes.

Commissioner Pushes Tax Credit During Assessment Increase


The recent announcement by the state Department of Assessments and Taxation that property values, both residential and business, increased by nearly 25 percent has one local leader here pressing residents to partake of the built-in tax relief option on their property tax bills.
“It's very important that people who own their homes are taking advantage of the Homestead Tax Credit on their primary residence,” said Commissioner Mike Hewitt in a social media post. “The increase for those who claim the credit is three percent versus the 10 percent charged in Calvert County and the seven percent charged in Charles County.”
Hewitt said property owners should take care to ensure they are enrolled in the homestead program.
“Your assessment can go up 20 percent but your property taxes will only increase three percent,” Hewitt said of the situation in St. Mary’s “Look in the upper right-hand corner of your property tax bill and it will say if it's a primary residence or not.
“Too many county residents just don't know about this important way to save money on property taxes.”
The property assessments take place in three stages with the state making assessments on one-third of residential and commercial properties around Maryland each year.
The third and final tier of properties have been assessed for 2024.
Valuations of properties in St. Mary’s beat the state average of a 23.4 percent increase with a combined increase of 25.9 percent.
The increase in local residential property assessments was 27.3 percent, while commercial properties 22.1 percent.
The total assessable property tax base in St. Mary’s is $6.5 billion.
