APPLICATION FOR HOMESTEAD TAX CREDIT ELIGIBILITY
• The Homestead Tax Credit law limits the amount of assessment increase on which eligible resident homeowners
actually pay county, municipal, and State property taxes each year. This credit can have a significant impact on your
real estate taxes regardless of your property’s value or your income level. If the property is used as your
principal residence, you are strongly encouraged to complete this application.
• The reason why this application is required is to verify that the property owners only receive the benefit of this credit on
their one principal residence. It also insures that other homeowners entitled to the credit but not receiving it can also
start to receive this benefit.
• A married couple may only have one principal residence under the provisions of this law. A homeowner who submits an
application that is inconsistent with income tax and motor vehicle records of the State shall be required to later submit
additional verification in order to be considered for the credit.
• If you have a specific question concerning the application, you may telephone 410-767-2165 in the Baltimore
metropolitan area or on 1-866-650-8783 toll free elsewhere in Maryland. Or email the division at
homestead@dat.state.md.us.
• This application can be filled out on your pc; if hand written please print legibly. Please use black or blue ink only.
