Frequently Asked Questions About Maryland Property Taxes

What is the average property tax rate in Maryland?
Maryland has an effective property tax rate of approximately 1.05%, slightly above the national average. However, rates vary significantly — Baltimore City and some counties have rates above 1.5%, while other counties are below 1%.
How does property tax work in Maryland?
Maryland assesses property at 100% of market value. The state Department of Assessments and Taxation conducts triennial assessments. County and municipal governments set their own tax rates, which are applied to the state-assessed value.
Are there property tax exemptions in Maryland?
Yes. Maryland offers a homestead property tax credit that limits assessment increases to 10% per year (or less in some counties). Additional exemptions are available for seniors, disabled persons, and veterans. Contact your local assessment office to apply.
How do I appeal my Maryland property tax assessment?
File an appeal with the Supervisor of Assessments within 45 days of the assessment notice. You can request an informal hearing first. If unsatisfied, appeal to the Maryland Tax Court. Bring comparable sales data or an independent appraisal.
How often are property taxes reassessed in Maryland?
Maryland conducts a statewide reassessment cycle every three years, with one-third of properties reassessed each year. This means your property is reassessed once every three years on a rolling basis.
