SB 342 Maryland Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Property Tax - Renters' Property Tax Relief Program - Assets Calculation

SB 342 modifies Maryland's renters' property tax relief program by changing how a person's assets are counted to determine eligibility. The bill specifically excludes the cash value of qualified retirement savings plans and individual retirement accounts from the list of assets used in these calculations. This change ensures that renters who have saved for retirement are not disqualified from receiving tax credits solely because of those specific savings. The update applies to taxable years beginning after June 30, 2024, and does not alter the existing income or net worth limits for the program.
