Functions of the State Department of Assessments
and Taxation began in 1878 when the office of the
State Tax Commissioner was established (Chapter
178, Acts of 1878) In 1914, the State Tax Commis
sion replaced the office of the State Tax Commissioner
(Chapter 841, Acts of 1914) In 1959, the quasi ju
dicial appeal responsibilities of the State Tax Commis
sion were replaced by the Maryland Tax Court, and
Commission administrative duties were assumed by
the State Department of Assessments and Taxation
(Chapter 757, Acts of 1959) In 1973, the State took
over administration of local assessment offices and
bore their full operational costs as well (Chapter 784,
Acts of 1973) Maryland is the only state where the
assessment process is centralized fully at the State level
Appointed by the Governor, the Director of Assess
ments and Taxation administers and enforces the prop
erty assessment and tax laws of Maryland The Director
supervises assessment of all property in the counties and
ones so that similar kinds of taxable property are assessed
alike For both real and busmess personal property, the
Director must establish a continuing method of assess
ment (Code Tax—Property Article, Tide 2)
For each county and Baltimore City, the Direc-
tor of Assessments and Taxation appoints a Super
visor of Assessments nominated by the Mayor of
Baltimore City, the County Commissioners, or,
