Property Owners May Suffer

Property owners in Maryland may find a higher property tax bill in their mailboxes this July.A property tax credit that was formerly granted automatically,the Homestead Tax Credit,must now be applied for.Unless owners submit a form either by mail or online,they will no longer receive the credit.Many people,of course,could either forget to apply for the credit,put it off,or fail to realize that they are now required to do so.Human nature could bolster the coffers of Maryland and its counties and municipalities.
