Program details

How it works

The State of Maryland provides a credit for the real property tax bill for homeowners of all ages who qualify based on gross household income. This is a tax credit rather than a repair grant or rebate.

What it covers

The page is about reducing a homeowner’s property tax bill; it does not fund physical mitigation work.

Timing and deadlines

The OneStop listing shows the 2026 application is open from 2026-02-02 to 2026-10-01.

Notes for homeowners

Because this is a tax credit and not a mitigation program, it does not map directly to wildfire hardening work. It is included because you asked for state-level homeowner money incentives, including tax incentives.
