Program applies to renters aged 60 or over; the
permanently disabled; and renters who are under
age 60, with dependent children, and who meet
certain income requirements.
Within the Taxpayer Services Division, the Prop-
erty Maps unit prepares property location maps,
which delineate property boundaries and comprise a
complete inventory of all land in the State. They are
drawn to scale and are integrated into the State Grid
System. Because they show ownership, sizes, refer-
ences, and natural and manmade features, the maps
are very useful to the general public and invaluable for
property assessments.
REAL PROPERTY VALUATION DIVISION
Joseph L. Szabo, State Supervisor of
Real Property Assessments
(410) 225-1199
Real property is reassessed on a three-year cycle
by reviewing one-third of all property in Maryland
every year. The review includes an exterior physical
inspection of the property. The Real Property Valu-
ation Division participates in all court proceedings
where assessment questions are involved. The Divi-
sion also provides clerical assistance to several local
Property Tax Assessment Appeal Boards.
For each county and Baltimore City, the Director
of Assessments and Taxation appoints a Supervisor
of Assessments from a list of five qualified applicants
submitted by the Mayor of Baltimore City, the
County Commissioners, or, under charter govern-
ment, by the County Council or the County Execu-
tive with the approval of the Council. Supervisors
may be relieved for incompetency or other cause
only after a hearing by the Division.
Brochures explaining the assessment process
and related matters, such as appeals and tax credits,
are available at each local assessment office and from
the State office in Baltimore.
