Anne Arundel County – Property Tax Credit – Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake, Incorporated

HB 447 updates Maryland's property tax code to reflect a name change for a specific Habitat for Humanity chapter. It alters the tax credit provision to apply to "Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake, Incorporated" (replacing "Arundel Habitat for Humanity, Inc.") for real property owned by this organization in Anne Arundel County. The bill authorizes Anne Arundel County or its municipalities to grant a property tax credit against county/municipal taxes for this entity's qualifying real property. This change ensures the existing tax credit mechanism continues to apply to the organization's properties under its current legal name, effective June 1, 2025.
