HB 127 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Baltimore County - Property Tax Credits - Public Safety Officers and Public School System Employees

HB 127 requires Baltimore County to create a property tax credit for county residents who are public safety officers (like police and firefighters) or Baltimore County public school employees. The credit would reduce the county property tax on their primary residence, with the county government determining the exact amount, duration, and application process. This bill directly affects those specific public employees by lowering their local tax burden, but the county must establish the program through its own local law. The credit would apply to taxable years beginning after June 30, 2026.
