HB 606 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Anne Arundel County - Residential Property Tax Payment Deferrals - Eligibility

HB 606 expands eligibility for property tax payment deferrals on residential properties in Anne Arundel County to include members of certain reserve military components, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Public Health Service. The bill amends existing law to add these groups to the list of qualifying individuals who qualify for deferrals under the same disability or age criteria already in place (e.g., permanent disability or age 62+). It does not change income requirements or other existing provisions. The change applies to tax years beginning after June 30, 2026.

MODERATE
The bill progressed from its initial introduction to a favorable committee report and adoption, adding official procedural status updates. Substantively, the text of the law itself remained unchanged, as the differences between the two versions are limited to formatting, line numbering, and the addition of legislative history markers.
TECHNICAL

Added procedural status notes indicating the bill was reported favorably by the committee and adopted by the House on March 6, 2026.

Replaced the introductory title 'A BILL ENTITLED' with 'CHAPTER ______' to reflect standard legislative formatting for enacted laws.

Updated line numbering and removed the original bill header to align with the format of the existing Maryland Code article.

Inserted an explanation of markup symbols (capital letters, brackets, underlining) to clarify how amendments are visually represented in the document.
