Homestead Tax Credit Eligibility Application

How it works

Maryland’s Homestead Tax Credit Eligibility Application is a one-time filing used to establish that a property qualifies for the Homestead Tax Credit. The official page says the application is needed so homeowners receive the credit only on their principal residence.

Homeowners can complete the form online or download the PDF form. The page also offers an in-person service appointment option and a Spanish translation resource.

What it covers

This is a property tax credit application. It does not provide money for repairs, mitigation, or home hardening work.

The page suggests checking the Real Property database to see whether an application has already been filed for a property.

How to apply

• Apply online through the OneStop form.
• Or download the form as a PDF.
• Additional help includes resources and links, including an in-person service appointment option.

Timing and deadlines

The page states that details were last revised on 2026-07-24, but it does not list a specific open or close date, filing deadline, or funding window.
