When you received your Property Tax documents in the mail recently from the State of Maryland, and quickly put it aside because it said, This is not a Bill you may harm yourself.
Previously, the State of Maryland included a Homestead Tax Credit automatically if your home is your primary residence. This year, you must APPLY FOR THE HOMESTEAD TAX CREDIT. So, make sure when you get your Tax Assessment notice that you look for the form that is supposed to be enclosed, fill it out and send it in IMMEDIATELY. It will save you a lot of money.
More details may be found on-line at: http://www.dat.state.md.us Click on the Homestead Eligibility Application on the left. Then click on the "Click Here in Red" to download the application. The application includes information that most of don't know without assistance from the web site. The County Code is 05 for Calvert County.
Dunkirk Area Concerned Citizens Association (DACCA) at www.daccamd.com (E-mail us at Dunkirkdacca@aol.com) thanks Donna and Barry Hoffmann for bringing this important information to our attention. DACCA hopes this public service announcement is helpful to you. Should you desire, however, to be removed from our e-mail list, simply let us know.

Tim Hayden (Calvert County Finance Office) notes that not everyone in the County must apply for the Homestead Tax Credit this year. This application process applies only to those in the Third District which was reassessed this year. When other Districts are reassessed in future years, homeowners will then be required to file to receive the Credit when they are reassessed.
Thanks for the note of clarification. Now, what district does Dunkirk fall under?
Dunkirk is in the 3rd District. For complete listing, see:
