Homeowner Property Tax Credit

The City of Hyattsville's Homeowner Property Tax Credit program, created in 2008, mirrors the State of Maryland's Program, but with a few changes on eligibility. The requirements for the State's program are (1.) Total combined household Income of $60,000 or less, (2.) Other assets that contribute to your net worth such as cash values in IRA and/or qualified retirement savings related programs cannot exceed $200,000 and, (3.) Assessed home values of $300,000 or less. In contrast, the City's program allows household income of $80,000 annually; assets of less than $200,000, not including house value and qualified retirement accounts; and assessed home values of up to $350,000. The City supplement is set at 15% of the State credit. 
The 2017 filing deadline for this program has been extended to Sept. 15. To access the application, please:
