Maryland property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Maryland?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Maryland adds its own break: Homeowners' Property Tax Credit for any age with household income up to $60,000; Renters' Tax Credit pays up to $1,000.

Homestead: Homestead Tax Credit caps yearly taxable assessment increases on your home at 10% or less (county rate). Maryland homeowner credit applicants must also have net worth under $200,000, not counting the home or retirement accounts.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
