GC Homeowners' Tax Credit Program Is Now "Enhanced"


Mar. 18, 2010

The Board of Garrett County Commissioners has approved an enhancement to the current County Supplemental Homeowners' Tax Credit Program. The current program benefits those taxpayers who are age 65 or older and have lived in Garrett County for 10 years or longer.
The applicable county credit is calculated at 25 percent of the State Homeowners' Tax Credit. The enhancement to the current County Supplemental Homeowners' Tax Credit Program will benefit those taxpayers who are age 65 or older, have lived in Garrett County for 10 years or longer, and who have combined gross household income of $25,000 or less.

To apply for the county program, taxpayers are required to file a Homeowners' Property Tax Credit Application (Form HTC-60) with the state of Maryland. Applications for 2010 are available and can be obtained by accessing the state Department of Assessments and Taxation web site at dat.state.md.us, at the state Department of Assessments and Taxation office located in the Garrett County courthouse, or by calling the local state Department of Assessments and Taxation office at 301-334-1950 and requesting that an application be sent by U.S. mail.

The application filing deadline for 2010 is Sept. 1. Garrett County administrator Monty Pagenhart or the Garrett County Department of Financial Services staff is available to answer questions regarding the County Supplemental Homeowners' Tax Credit Program by calling 301-334-8970.
