HB 570 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Talbot County - Hotel Rental Tax - Time of Penalty for Nonpayment

HB 570 modifies Talbot County's hotel rental tax rules by extending the deadline for hotels to pay without penalty from 1 month to 120 days after the due date. This change directly affects hotels operating in Talbot County that fail to pay their rental tax on time. The bill amends Maryland law to align Talbot County's penalty timeline with the existing 120-day standard already used for Wicomico County, keeping the penalty rate at 10% of the unpaid tax. The change takes effect July 1, 2025.
