 Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland and serves as the state's major cultural and industrial center. Baltimore Harbor is one of the best protected deepwater seaports in the world, with the Delmarva Peninsula shielding the area from most hurricanes and tropical storms, and the Appalachian Mountains protecting the city from much of the winter cold that would freeze the harbor.

Baltimore City Announces Effort to Capture Lost Revenue
Baltimore, MD (November 20, 2008) – The City of Baltimore announced a new effort to capture property tax revenue that went uncollected over the past three years because of abuse within the Homestead Credit program, also known as the Assessment Tax Credit. At the urging of the Mayor, and members of the City Council, the Administration has worked with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation to identify property owners in the City that have registered their properties with the City as rental properties while also receiving the Homestead Credit.
The Homestead Credit is the limit or cap on the amount by which taxable assessments for owner occupied residential properties can increase each year. For the City of Baltimore, this cap is set at 4%. The cap can legally be applied only to a homeowner’s principal residence; under the law a taxpayer is not entitled to the credit on any additional properties that he or she may own.
Data matching efforts have identified approximately 1,600 properties in the City that appear to be rental properties with Homestead Credit applied on their tax bills. For the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2008, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation removed the Homestead Credit on approximately 200 of the 1,600 properties that had credits greater than $1,000. In November 2008, the City is issuing bills to these 200 property owners to recapture approximately $590,000 in Homestead Credits from Fiscal Years 2006, 2007 and 2008.
