Anne Arundel can let homeowners defer property taxes

Anne Arundel County can adopt a program to let homeowners delay county property tax bills on their main home. At least one owner must have lived there five straight years and meet income limits in the law. At least one owner must be 62 or older, or be permanently and totally disabled. Disability can be shown by Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, certain federal service‑member or federal retirement disability, or a local health officer decision. Starting June 1, 2026, for tax years after June 30, 2026, this defers payment; it does not cancel the tax.
