The reassessment, which encompasses 712,782 properties across Maryland, revealed an average increase of 21.1% for residential properties and 16.4% for commercial properties over the past three years. This marks the seventh consecutive year of rising property values across Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City. Nearly all Group 1 residential properties—96.9%—experienced value increases. Property owners are advised to explore programs such as the Homestead Tax Credit and Homeowners’ Tax Credit, which provide relief from steep increases in taxable assessments and offer support to limited-income homeowners.

The Homestead Tax Credit limits annual increases in taxable assessments on principal residences, with statewide legislation capping increases at no more than 10% annually. Many local jurisdictions impose even lower limits. Eligible homeowners must complete a one-time application to qualify. Meanwhile, the Homeowners’ Tax Credit sets limits on property taxes for homeowners based on income, ensuring relief for those with limited financial resources. Property owners are encouraged to visit SDAT’s website for further details on eligibility and application procedures.
For this year’s reassessment, SDAT analyzed over 60,000 property sales from the past three years to determine adjustments. While increases in assessed values are phased in over three years, decreases are fully implemented in the 2025 tax year. Property owners seeking more information can access SDAT’s resources online.
