Property tax relief for Downtown RISE projects
The law lets owners of new or rehabbed projects in the Downtown RISE District get full or partial relief from Baltimore City property taxes. Qualifying projects include a hotel, office, retail, multifamily, or mixed‑use building. The City must do an economic analysis showing financial need, and you must sign a payment‑in‑lieu‑of‑taxes (PILOT) with the Board of Estimates that sets your yearly payment. To be eligible, by June 30, 2036 you must apply, have building permits issued, and have all financing conditions met or waived. The District covers Ward 4 precincts 1–3, Ward 22 precincts 1–2, and Ward 21 precinct 5. PILOT deals signed before the program authority ends stay in force for their full term.
