The Maryland Tax Court performs the judi- cial and semi-judicial duties of the former Commission. It consists of five Judges, appointed by the Governor for terms of six years. One is required to be a resident of the Eastern Shore; another, a resident of the Western Shore; and another, a resident of Baltimore City. The other two are to be residents of the State at large. Not more than three Judges may be of the same political party, and each is required to be a taxpayer and a qualified voter of Maryland. At least two must be members of the Bar of the State of Maryland, and the Governor is required to designate one of these as Chief Judge. The Maryland Tax Court hears appeals from the decision, deter- mination, or order of any agency or any assessing or taxing authority of the State that affects the valuation, assessment or classification of property; the levy of a tax; or the application for an abatement or reduction of any assessment or tax, or exemption therefrom (Code 1957, 1971 Repl.
