The deadline to apply for the Maryland Homeowners’ and Renters’ Tax Credit Programs is October first! These programs, offered by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT), provide financial relief to eligible households based on income and property value.

With rising costs for utilities, housing, groceries, and other basic expenses—exacerbated by recent federal policy changes that may limit support programs—these tax credits are more important than ever. They provide critical relief for Maryland families, especially older adults, renters, and low- to moderate-income households, by helping to offset monthly utility bills, reduce housing costs, and stretch household budgets. For many, this support makes the difference between being able to stay in their homes comfortably or facing financial strain.

Who Qualifies?

• Maryland Homeowners with limited income relative to property value
• Maryland Renters with low or moderate incomes
• Older adults or households facing increased living costs

Deadline

Applications must be submitted by October 1st.
