[Chat] tax question

[Stephen J Gewirtz]

Christine,

There is a "homeowners' property tax credit program."  Here is a link 
that I found: http://www.dat.state.md.us/sdatweb/htc.html

It  appears that October 31 was the deadline to apply, but at least your 
mother may be able to apply for next year.  Most of I know about it is 
contained in that link, but I think that the credit can apply to the 
CVCBD tax as well as the other real estate taxes.  Also, I think that if 
you get this credit, the state pays the City and CVCBD taxes for you, so 
that the City and CVCBD do not lose revenue.  At some point, I looked up 
the program in the Maryland Code, which is why I think that what I just 
added is accurate, but it has been a while since I looked.  You might 
want to contact Mary Pat Clarke since she probably has some info about it.

Good luck with it.

Steve
