Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed legislation that amends eligibility for a property tax credit against local property tax imposed on the homes of disabled veterans. (L. 2026, H1611 (c. 646), effective 06/01/2026, and applicable to all taxable years beginning after 06/30/2026.)
Income limitation for credit eligibility
For a dwelling house owned by a disabled veteran, if other application requirements are met, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City or the governing body of a county or municipal corporation may grant, by law, a property tax credit against the county or municipal corporation property tax imposed on a dwelling house if the disabled veteran’s federal adjusted gross income for the immediately preceding taxable year does not exceed $150,000, if filing an individual income tax return; or $300,000, if filing a joint income tax return (previously, $100,000 for those filing individual tax returns and for those filing joint income tax returns).
