Democratic mantra - raise taxes and wastefully spend other people’s money in a foolish attempt to achieve equal outcomes.

If you want to get really mad, look at recent sales of apartment buildings and see that their assessments are often tens of millions of dollars less than the assessed value, with the sales price coming in nearly twice the assessed value.

Property tax is just a wealth tax in action. People get hit with sticker shock due to MD’s dumb idea to reassess every three years. Much easier to smooth out values annually

Keep in mind that Maryland taxes are supposed to equal 100% of market value but each property is only assessed once every three years. If your assessment goes up, the increase is phased in over the next three years. If your assessment goes up 20%, then the phased in assessment will only increase 6-7% per year in the next 3 years. Still above inflation but probably below market if the full market value equals 100% of your market value now.

What a luxury, not to have to care about taxes.

I heard a rumor he might run for governor again. He has served two terms, isn't that the limit?

Moore would be easy to pick off. He is an empty suit.

You are on the wrong thread.

*That is being assessed at less than its value, just like what occurred 3 years ago.

The assessed value of my home used to be significantly less than its market value. It now appears that its assessed value could overtake its market value in the not-distant future.

These new assessments are leaving people even more house-burdened and are a way of raising taxes while claiming not to raise taxes.

Also, I don't buy it that commercial real estate has risen at less than 16%. That is being at less than its value, just like the ee years ago.

You don’t get to recognize that market appreciation until you sell the asset, and no longer own it. But you’re penalized for the higher assessment will hold you own it. Eventually given enough years, the increase in taxes will completely wipe out any future gains in assessed value.


Are you new to math?

The state is still taxing us out of hearth and home. No wonder Maryland is losing population.

Maryland Property Values Rise 20.1% for the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation’s 2025 Reassessment

Baltimore, MD – The Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation today announced its 2025 reassessment of 712,782 “Group 1” residential and commercial properties. The property tax assessment notices for properties in Group 1 were mailed today.

In Maryland, there are more than two million property accounts that are split into three groups, each appraised once every three years. The overall statewide value increase for “Group 1” properties was 20.1% over the three years since the last reassessment. The overall statewide increase represents an average increase in value of 21.1% for all residential properties and 16.4% for all commercial properties during this period.

“For seven consecutive years, all 23 counties and Baltimore City have experienced an increase in property values, ” said Department of Assessments and Taxation Director Dan Phillips. “As part of our Tax Credit Awareness Campaign, each reassessment notice includes the status of the property as the owner’s principal residence and the status of their Homestead Tax Credit application. Owners are encouraged to apply for the Homestead Tax Credit if the property is their principal residence and they have not applied.”

Maryland offers several tax credit programs available for the property owner’s principal residence. The Homestead Tax Credit may limit the owner’s principal residence taxable assessment from increasing by more than a certain percentage each year regardless of their income level. Statewide legislation caps the increase at no more than 10% per year and many local governments have capped property assessment increases at lower percentages. Residential property owners must complete a one-time application and meet certain requirements to be eligible for the credit.

The Homeowners’ Tax Credit program provides relief for limited income homeowners by setting a limit on the amount of property taxes that they are responsible for based on their income.

All homeowners are encouraged to visit the Department’s website at dat.maryland.gov for additional information regarding the tax credit programs.

The 2025 assessments for “Group 1” properties were based on an evaluation of 60,761 sales that occurred within the group over the last three years. If the reassessment resulted in a property value being adjusted, any increase in value will be phased-in equally over the next three years, while any decrease in value will be fully implemented in the 2025 tax year. For the 2025 reassessment, 96.9% of Group 1 residential properties saw an increase in property value.
